ZACH
ARTISTIC INFLUENCES: 
LCD Soundsystem, James Blake, Toro y Moi, Hiatus Kaiyote, Kaytranada, Gilles Peterson, Madlib

💪​ LOW-KEY FLEX: 
I once performed a sold out show at the House of Blues Chicago! 

NICHE: 
I've played ALL sorts of music at weddings but every once in a while I get some fellow former 00's indie kids who want some LCD Soundsystem, MGMT, or Passion Pit. I enjoy mixing that genre with classic wedding tunes 🎵
​
FUN FACT:
​
I play keys in my own band Karma Fête 🎹 When I'm not DJing a wedding on Saturdays, catch me at the Green Mill running sound for the Paper Machete comedy/music variety show! We regularly have drop-ins from the SNL cast and popular comedy TV shows 🎭


ZACH B'S MIXES

These are just a few samples to give you a snapshot of what we have to offer. We are always happy to customize our mixing and song selection to suit your style. 

Zach is a lifelong musician, tech savvy audiofile, and Green Line OG, boasting the most Five-Star Reviews in the Chicago Branch's history! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ He is a classically trained pianist who began writing and performing music in his teenage years. While obtaining his BA in Music Technology at Transylvania University, Zach was frequently invited to join the stage with a number of local bands, eventually landing a spot DJing for a local hip hop act. What began as a fun way to open and close shows, eventually evolved into a passion and a profession. 

Zach is well regarded for his ability to select both lesser-known tracks and modern hits that are guaranteed to get people moving. With a wide range of tastes and musical experience, he is able to put together a playlist for any occasion.

Currently Zach spends his days engineering sessions for a variety of musicians in his production studio, writing and mixing his own music, and gigging with a few different local acts. When he’s not in the studio, you might find him riding down Lake Front Trail or catching a jazz concert at the Green Mill tavern near his apartment.

We absolutely LOVED having Zach as our DJ! He did such a great job creating the perfect playlist and keeping the dance floor alive all night. Zach really took the time to get to know us and all our preferences during our initial meeting, and it absolutely showed on our day. Having Zach DJ for us truly felt like having a friend there for us. Cannot recommend enough!

We had the pleasure of having Zach B. as our DJ for our wedding in February 2025, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Despite a short engagement and a quick turnaround, Zach was exceptionally responsive and fully prepared from the start. We met once before the event to discuss our music preferences and the overall vibe, and Zach truly understood what we were looking for. On the big day, Zach seamlessly handled music for every part of our celebration—from the guest welcome and ceremony to the cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. Our guests, ranging in age from their early 20s to late 70s, all found something to enjoy, and the dance floor stayed packed all night thanks to Zach’s skillful transitions and genre-mixing. We received so many compliments on the music, and it was clear that Zach’s attention to detail made our wedding unforgettable. We highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and thoughtful DJ.

We hired DJ Zach B to be our wedding DJ and it was a great experience from beginning to end! He was extremely easy to work with and made the song selection process easy and fun. He did a fantastic job at our wedding and exceeded our expectations. We have had so many of our wedding guests rave about how good the music was and how good of a job he did! If you are looking for a wedding DJ - we highly recommend Zach! ​

We used Zach B for our wedding (30y.o. couple, 100ish people). He did a fantastic job! He was professional, listened to our preferences, and have very smooth transitions between tracks. Would recommend him to others

We worked with DJ Zach B as well as a Solo acoustic guitarist for our November wedding and WOW was I blown away!! Our guitarist (Dillon) was amazing, his vocals & guitar set was incredible and exactly what we were looking for for cocktail hour entertainment. Zach B was incredible to work with throughout the whole process. He met with us before hand to go through out preferences at a local brewery and help us nail everything down. Day of, everything from our dinner music to the dance party was amazing. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and he was able to read the room to appeal to a wide variety of audiences. He had my 80 year old grandpa dancing with our 30 somethings friends! Zach also came up with such a great soundtrack for dinner, that people are still raving about. I would HIGHLY recommend Zach & Dillon. Thank you so much for making our day so amazing.

Green line talent was a dream to work with, especially Zach B. He was able to read the room and play all the hits everyone loved on the dance floor. We got so many compliments about him afterwards, and we had the best time working with him.

My husband and I have a generally similar taste in music and vision of how we wanted our wedding to feel, but we were having a hard time narrowing down what would actually play and how to balance some of our differing tastes. Zach met us at a coffee shop for an hour and a half and pulled out of us exactly what we were looking for. He also accommodated our bizarre requests (like playing Atlien’s, Creed remix “One Last Dance” for our first dance, masterfully balanced Jewish songs for the Horah, made sure to play ENOUGH Beyonce for my liking, announced that I wanted to have a Limbo Competition mid party, AND played my husband sleeper hit requests like “I’m Blue”). Our guest’s reviews said it all - months later friends and family are stilling coming up to us noting how great Zach was and how much fun they had. Despite a venue that was super hot in the middle of a heat wave, that didn’t stop our guests from truly raging - thanks to you Zach!

As the photographer for Lexi and Dylan’s wedding, I had such a great experience working alongside the DJ from Green Line Talent! From the moment the reception started, the energy was amazing! The music kept everyone smiling, dancing, and celebrating all night long.

The DJ was super professional, easy to coordinate with, and perfectly timed key moments like the grand entrance, first dance, and toasts, which made capturing those moments effortless. It’s always a joy working with vendors who care so much about making the couple’s day unforgettable and Green Line Talent absolutely nailed it!

Can’t wait to work together again!

I made sure to write a review just so I could rave about our DJ, Zach B., and by extension, Green Line Talent. Anyone who talked to me for 30 seconds about our wedding knew that I cared a ton about the dance party. We left the music in Zach's excellent hands, and he carried it to soaring heights. Zach had people on the dance floor all night and many guests said he was the best DJ they'd ever heard. And this started from months of preparation--Zach met us before, got a feel for our music tastes, and then exhaustively reviewed genres and music artists with us to make sure he compiled the perfect playlist. His transitions were fantastic-- I'm still listening to them. And when we had a lighting fiasco a week before the wedding, Green Line immediately had our backs with their uplighting package (which was awesome, by the way). Book Green Line talent. Book Zach!!We had such a great experience with Green Line Talent. They were great about follow up and coordination - so easy to work with. We had Zach B as our DJ and he was incredible. So many compliments on how well he did throughout the entire night. We also had a sax and trombone - both musicians were incredible, and Zach worked with them so well. Highly recommend!!

We absolutely loved our experience with Green Line Talent for our wedding on 5/18/25. We initially met with Imani to talk about what we were looking for and how their process worked. We took their online quiz with matched us three DJs, we went with DJ Zach B. We also signed on for a string/harp trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The trio was amazing, we had so many compliments on the music and we loved that they were able to learn a specific song for me to walk down the aisle to. Hannah, the coordinator was great with communication. Nichole (harpist), Rachel (violinist), and Tim (cellist) were flexible, professional, and so kind. They were amazing performers! Our time with Zach was also loads of fun. We met with him prior to our wedding for us to talk about must-haves, do-not-play songs, etc. and he helped us go through some things we didn't think of. He was great during our wedding! Professional, organized, and went with the flow when our timing got a little off track :) He really read the room and the dance floor was packed all night. We are still getting compliments on the music selection and our DJ! Green Line was great along the whole way. Between Imani, Hannah, Zach, and the musicians, the team was great, communicative, and flexible when we added on some extras closer to our wedding date. We had a great experience and everything exceeded our expectations.​

 Zach B. Is the best! Super helpful and involved even before the event, so we knew he cared to understand the vibe we wanted. And delivered! The dance floor was always bumpin' and he made the night so memorable. Was a great MC as well and helped streamline all the important transitions.

Green Line Talent is great! If you are looking for a DJ who is professional and personable, I highly recommend Zach B. We never once had to think about sound or AV during our wedding. He can also pack a dance floor.

Highly recommend Green Line! I am a day-of coordinator and worked with Zach B. at a recent wedding. In addition to his friendly demeanor, he was organized, communicative, and flexible to several adjustments that were made during the event. The dance floor was packed down to the last song!

Long overdue review, but we hired DJ Zach through Green Line Talent for our wedding this summer, and we had a great experience with them throughout the entire process. We met with Zach before the event to discuss our music preferences, and he did a great job of understanding what we liked and accommodating that throughout the night of the event. It was a pleasure working with Zach, and we'd highly recommend him and Green Line Talent!

We had our wedding at Salvage One. Zach knew the space perfectly and crushed the music selection. My partner and I have pretty different music tastes but he was able to work in songs for each of us. We especially loved that he read the crowd, would try out songs, and if they weren't hitting, was able to adapt, adjust, and mix in a new song. Great for keeping the dance floor alive deep into the night. Easy to work with and very responsive. Would definitely work with Zach again!

 We had an absolutely incredible time at our wedding, and Zach played no small part in that! From the very first consultation meeting—where Zach took plenty of time to understand both the style and logistics of our wedding night but also the kind of music we love—to the night's last dance, he set the stage for us and our guests to have a blast. Communications with Green Line Talent were prompt and professional. We felt we paid a very fair price for the value of their services. And we can't count the number of our wedding guests who specifically complimented Zach's DJing as a highlight!

​Our DJ Zach was amazing, and we really enjoyed working with Green Line Talent. They made the selection and planning process super easy for us, and we had an in person meeting with Zach a few months before the wedding to go over our plan and do a vibe check, which was great for our confidence. On the day, Zach got to the venue early and set up in no time, he was constantly in communication with us, the GM for the venue, and our photographer about our timeline, he was a great MC, and the music choices throughout were on point. We got a bunch of compliments from our guests on how much fun they had dancing and how much they enjoyed the music. Zach even recorded the audio from our ceremony and toasts during the reception and shared the edited files within a week! Green Line Talent made the process a breeze, with helpful reminders of when things were due, and always making themselves available if we had questions or concerns.

If you're thinking about booking Green Line Talent---I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We got married in October 2023 and our guests have continued to say it was their favorite wedding with the most interactive party. This was made possible in large part to Zach from Green Line! Having special music moments was a top priority for my husband and I planning our wedding and Zach could not have been more helpful and flexible in curating exactly what we were hoping. We also had a request for an extra mic to sing and perform (LOL) on stage at our wedding and he was totally cool with it! We had so much fun and our guests had the chance to sing along and perform as well. It was such a fun dance and karaoke party that made the night feel like 'us' and felt unique. We are so appreciative of Zach and his attention to detail and flexibility. 10/10 recommend!​

Such an amazing and easy experience with Green Line Talent. Their questionnaire process was very efficient and helpful in finding the perfect DJ match for our needs. We felt very lost going into the process of searching, but they had all the right tools to put us at ease. Zach really was the perfect DJ for our wedding night. He was very detailed in his preparation and discussions with us in terms of music choices / preferences, and it really showed on the wedding night. All of our guests were blown away by the dance floor vibe and still rave about it months later. Everyone danced for the entire night because Zach put together the perfect set and read the room flawlessly. He was also an amazing MC and helped keep the night moving without a hitch. His experience really helped guide us. We couldn't recommend Zach more if you want your guests to have the best night with ideal vibes.​

We got married at an art gallery on April 1st, 2023 and had gotten in touch with GLT for a DJ. The team was great to work with, after a quick quiz call with Imani and Erica we got a list of DJ recommendations. We chose Zach from the list as it seemed like his musical profile best suited what we were looking for.

Zach was terrific to work with, after a quick meet up and finalizing our survey we were able to narrow down what we were planning for the day. We intermixed some specifically chosen Chinese songs with some modern and classic hits for the ceremony, cocktail hour and open dance and the dance floor was hopping throughout the evening, just like we wanted it! I would definitely recommend Zach to anyone looking for a DJ.​

We couldn't have had a better experience with Green Line Talent and our specific DJ Zach Bain-Selbo. From the first email they were incredibly responsive and professional. The questionnaire was incredibly helpful to ensure no detail of the event was overlooked and meeting with DJ Zach to talk music (for over 2 hours!) completely put our minds at ease. We couldn't recommend more.

We went with Green Line Talent for our July 2023 wedding in Evanston, Illinois, and couldn't have been happier with our DJ Zach Bain-Selbo! Zach met with us several months before the wedding to get a thorough feel for our musical tastes, and paid extra attention to the special songs that were "must-plays" for us. He absolutely nailed the vibe we were going for at our reception, and he was also an excellent MC keeping our reception on track and on schedule.

Our DJ, Zach, was excellent!  Can't recommend him enough.   We chose him for our wedding this summer because he has such a wide variety of musical tastes and seemed super prepared to handle all of the extra parts that go with a wedding reception.   He was extremely thoughtful and attentive during the planning process, and got every detail right on our big day.  He was careful to pronounce everyone's names correctly, kept everything running on schedule, and he absolutely blew the roof off when it came time for dancing.

Zach @ Green Line was THE BEST DJ we could have asked for for our wedding. From setting time aside to meet with us IN PERSON and discuss what we wanted and how/when to the actual day/night of our wedding it was very apparent that Zach cared about the entire event.

Not only did he respect our DNP list (we've heard horror stories), but the list he put together from our preferences was *incredible*. He read the room very well and EVERY song was a banger.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Green Line Talent and their fantastic DJ, Zach, for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing.

Zach, in particular, was an absolute delight to plan with. He brought great energy and enthusiasm to the process, making every meeting and conversation a breeze. His passion for music and his understanding of what we wanted for our special day was just what we were looking for and it was evident that he genuinely cared about making our wedding unforgettable.

The music at our wedding was an absolute hit, and we received countless compliments from our guests. Zach's ability to read the crowd and keep the dance floor alive was remarkable. The playlist perfectly blended our personal favorites and crowd-pleasers, ensuring that everyone had a fantastic time.

We used Green Line Talent for our wedding reception and they were wonderful to work with. I really like the survey they have on their website to help us determine what types of music we wanted for various parts of our reception. We also liked how many DJs they have with different styles. We were paired with Zach and he was everything we could have hoped for. He requested to meet us in person and got our music style down as well as the exact type of songs we did and did not want. He also made sure no guests made unannounced speeches. Highly suggest Green Line Talent and Zach for your event or wedding.

DJ Zach Bain is a phenomenal person and we don't have enough words to describe his efforts and strong character. He made sure to connect with us very early on to get a good idea about ours likes in music and genres. Come wedding day, which was in an outdoor setting, we experienced an inclement weather situation in Chicago's summer months. But Zach, being a trooper, came through and managed to keep the mood of the party uplifted. He is the reason for the party to go on smoothly without any interruption in entertainment. Zach is not only a superb DJ but a strong willed and selfless person who goes above and beyond to make sure the client and their guest are enjoying the party. I would strongly recommend to have Zach as their DJ at any event they choose to have in future.

Greenline talent was a fantastic talent agency to work with. We completed a short form and they recommended a few DJs that fit our needs and wants. Each DJ had a mix that we were able to preview to feel out their genre and style.
We worked with Zach and he smashed it out of the park. We met with him a month before the wedding and did a comprehensive overview of the different types of music we would like (and not like). We compiled a spotify playlist with all the different music for different parts of the wedding. Zach read the room with skill and played music that kept the party going. Many of our guests commented on the fantastic music and we loved how many people were on the dance floor instead of sitting in their seats. If the party didn’t end at midnight I’m sure everyone could have gone another hour or two.
Thank you Zach for facilitating an amazing party. We appreciated your communication and making this an unforgettable experience.

I cannot recommend GLT & specifically our wedding DJ Zach highly enough! We really wanted someone who would not just understand our taste in music, but who would also read the room & keep the full audience engaged. The dance floor was booming till the final minute of the event! I have heard nothing but glowing feedback from guests since, & I think it says a lot when friends text you just to say how great the DJ was. I'll be recommending Zach to everyone I know...& am already trying to come up with some other event I could hire him for. Thank you Zach & the GLT team for helping us create the perfect night!

We worked with Green line talent, specifically DJ Zach Bain-Selbo, and could not be happier with how the night went! The dance floor was packed and we received many compliments on the music from all age groups! Zach made the planning process so easy, meeting us in person beforehand to go through our preferences in-depth. He was more than willing to help us with a few special family song requests/shoutouts which we were grateful for. A DJ plays such an important role in the wedding and we would 100% recommend Zach! We also worked with Hannah at GLT to find an acoustic guitarist for our ceremony and cocktail hour who was really great as well. Thank you!!

Zach was a pleasure to work with ! He was super organized and excellent with clarifying exactly what we wanted for our wedding reception. He brought the sound system for outdoor wedding and help guide us through our reception. Greenline Talent's structure and forms help to make the whole process clear and easy too. We were worried that our dance floor would be empty since we had mix of so many 50 year olds and 20 year olds. Zach was able to collaborate with us and find just the right beats to keep all of us dancing all night long. His overall style is low key so that the bride and groom and the music was the where the attention was at. We got so many compliments on how fun the night was! Thank you Zach!

We had DJ Zach B at our wedding on 7/16/22, and he was awesome! He seemed very knowledgeable about music, and he asked several detailed questions about which kind of music we would like played at different points throughout the night. He helped brainstorm specific artists we'd like to have played, and he was easy to talk to. The day of, he arrived on time, set up his gear (which sounded great) and acted professionally. He wanted to follow our lead for the pacing of the evening and encouraged us to enjoy our wedding. He asked us if we had "must plays," and he waited to play those until he saw we were out on the dance floor (and not while we were taking pictures or making the rounds). We strongly recommend DJ Zach and all of Green Line to anyone! All around cool and kind dude :)

Zach (from greenline talent) DJ'ed our wedding and did an absolutely fantastic job. Zach is a true professional. Not only did he take the time to understand what we were hoping for at our wedding, what our music tastes were, what our guests would want to hear, and how all of that would fit into the overall experience of the night -- he also knows how to fill in the gaps with what everyone needs and wants to hear. When it came down to start the night off with dancing, every song followed perfectly from the last, and everyone danced the entire night. If you book Zach for your wedding or event, you won't regret it.

Zach was the DJ for our wedding and he absolutely nailed the music choices we were hoping for. He met with us prior to discuss our taste and although my wife and I had somewhat different tastes in music, he was able to blend the two seamlessly and keep the energy up the entire night. We had a small wedding (less than 60) and it was incredible that Zach's energy was great enough to keep people on the dance floor consistently the ENTIRE night. Guests of all ages were raving to us post-wedding about how there was really a song for everyone. Would highly recommend Green Line Talent, and specifically Zach!

There aren’t enough words to express how great of an experience we had with Zach from Green Line Talent. He played EXACTLY what we wanted. We wanted a packed dance floor throughout the night and that is precisely what we got - we had so many people come up to us and tell us how great the music was from start to finish. Zach also took the time to make sure that he knew exactly how to pronounce all of the names in our wedding party - it was clear that he’d put in a lot of time/effort for our wedding!

Zach was our DJ for our wedding this past weekend and WOW! He was a hit! The music was incredible. Our friends and family couldn't stop talking about what a fun mix of music it was. Zach and the Green Line team worked with us throughout the whole process to make sure they understood our preferred music and vibe. Everything went so smoothly! Zach was so friendly and really made the night special. We'd highly recommend Zach and anyone else at Green Line Talent for your wedding or events!

Green Line Talent was a joy to work with from start to finish. Like many couples, we were affected by COVID-19 and had to move our date three times. Each time Green Line Talent was responsive and flexible for us. They have multiple DJs to choose from with a great profile for each on their website. We went with Zach Bain-Selbo and were so happy we did. He was responsive, did a fantastic job the day of, and had a planning meeting with us a month beforehand to get to know us and our musical likes/dislikes. I would 100% recommend Zach and Green Line Talent to anyone considering hiring them!

A great dancefloor was my top priority when planning our wedding - it was the first thing I booked - and Zach made sure the dancefloor was going the whole night. I had a lot of opinions for the wedding music and was able to coordinate ahead of time along with day-of changeups. Zach accommodated my vibe suggestions as well as playing several deep cuts from my wedding planning playlist throughout the night.

I may be biased, but this was the most consistently lively wedding dancefloor I've experienced. I had to do a lot of running around on the night, but every time I made my way for 90 seconds of dancing, the crowd and music was perfect. Zach is a huge reason why. I don't plan on having another wedding, but if I did, I'd hire Zach again in a heartbeat.

Green Line Talent was so great to work with! Such a thoughtful and responsive team. They were able to accommodate our MULTIPLE date moves, and offered tons of flexibility.

Zach Bain-Selbo was our DJ day of and he was wonderful! Some family members performed a special song for my mother/daughter dance and he made sure they had everything they needed and were able to do a sound check before hand. He also helped us pull off a huge surprise dance for our guests. We cannot thank him enough!

Zach was our DJ for our August 2021 wedding and we could not have been happier. From the minute we booked Green Line Talent, we instantly felt at ease. They had a fun questionnaire to help us figure out our style, and about 2 months out Zach set up an intro call with us to learn more about what we were looking for. He was really responsive on email, too, when we had a few logistics questions. The day of the wedding, he arrived early and played amazing tunes that got so many people on the dance floor. This made me especially happy since I wasn't sure if people would dance at our brunch wedding, but thanks to Zach, they did! I'd highly recommend GLT for your wedding.

We hired GLT for our October wedding and we are so happy we choose them! We choose Zach to DJ our wedding, and he was simply amazing! Our dance floor was completely packed the entire night, and everyone since has told us how amazing the music was at our wedding! He totally understood what we were looking for, and did not disappoint! They were so easy to work with, and I did not have to stress about the music at all. When booking we had a zoom meeting with the one of the owners of the company, she was so incredibly nice and went out of her way to ease any anxieties we had. We are so happy we hired Green Line for our wedding!

Zach was an excellent DJ for our wedding this past June! We couldn't be happier with the music selection from our ceremony all the way to the reception. We had a great time getting to know Zach as he stuck with us for 2.5 years through 2 postponement dates due to the pandemic. Zach was excellent to work with, very prompt on emails, and helped bring our vision of music choices to life at our wedding!

Zach was our DJ for our wedding and he was absolutely spectacular. Music was one of the most important parts of the wedding for us, and Zach more than delivered on expertise, equipment, and MC-ing skills. He kept everything moving smoothly throughout the night and was able to quickly pick up on the energy of the party. Our dance floor was not empty for a single second, and he did an expert job of mixing in the exact type of music we wanted. We had an extensive planning session with Zach prior to our wedding, where we discussed our ideas for music during the ceremony, at cocktail hour, during dinner, and of course, for dancing. He was also so polite, respectful, and easy to work with--he focused so hard on making the event about us and executing our vision. Zach made it so clear that we were in capable hands, which really allowed us to relax and enjoy our wedding. It's been almost a month and our friends are STILL talking about our amazing DJ. 10/10 would hire again! Don't hesitate!

We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Green Line Talent if you are looking for easy to work with owners for planning, talented DJs, and music to keep your dancefloor full all night long! Elissa and Erica were awesome to work with from the beginning and very responsive. Their recommendation for a DJ to fit our style was spot on with Zach and their website is set up to easily research which DJ’s style works best for you. We were able to talk with Zach before signing the contract and he immediately sold us with his kindness, can-do attitude, and experience. When filling out the planning form and talking with Zach a couple months in advance, he was very helpful in making sure he had a playlist of music we liked and knew the plan for the day of. My husband was especially interested in being involved, so Zach even sent over the list of songs a week in advance for review. We LOVED that he allowed us to be a big part of the process. Also, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the team was so supportive and flexible throughout the process of trying to adapt to state re-opening and mitigation restrictions. The day of our wedding, Zach exceeded our expectations by helping the ceremony and reception run smoothly, hand delivering my first drink from the bar (how sweet was that?!!), checking in throughout the night, adjusting for 30 minutes of overtime when the party wasn’t ready to end, and keeping the dancefloor full all night long! My husband and I have never been much for the dancing at weddings, but with our type of music, DJ Zach, and no cheesy line dances…we were out on the dancefloor THE ENTIRE NIGHT!! We could not have asked for a better experience or people to work with to make our night unforgettable!​

We loved working with Green Line Talent for our wedding in Chicago. Our DJ, Zach, did an awesome job at our wedding! We received many compliments from our guests that he played music that attracted all age levels at our wedding to get them up and dancing. The dance floor was never empty all night! My husband and I had to postpone our wedding twice and Green Line Talent was so understanding and helpful through the stressful times. Elissa and Erica were on top of emails and questions! They were great at sending reminder emails and checking in before our big day! I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a DJ!

The team at Green Line Talent (GLT) is so incredibly responsive and diligent. Partnering with them was easy - which is exactly what you want out of a music vendor.

Across the board, everyone (Elissa & Erica, DJ Zach, Violinist Hannah) was professional, receptive, and talented. People enjoyed the violin music, raved (yes, raved) about the music during dinner, and sang along all night as Zach blended songs. Without hesitation, I would recommend GLT to anyone.

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!

Green Line Talent was wonderful to work with, from start to finish! Erica and Elissa are friendly and communicative and were very open to working with the vision we had for music at our wedding celebration from the first conversation we had with them. DJ Zach continued with the great hospitality and was incredibly easy to work with. The process for sharing our music suggestions and preferences was very organized, and Zach did a fantastic job of playing the tunes we selected, while also adding his own touch that was very consistent with our taste. Our guests danced the whole time and we go so many compliments on the music. I highly recommend Green Line Talent if you're looking for professional, friendly, and talented DJ services in Chicago!

We absolutely loved working with Zach! We were very impressed with how detailed he was and what an interest he took to get to know both of us. He asked the questions we wouldn't have even thought of to ensure he fully understood our taste and what we envisioned for our day. He certainly delivered! From the minute the dancefloor was open until the end of the last song we had everyone on the dancefloor! He played a perfect mix of my husband and I's tastes and it was exactly what we wanted but didn't know how to explain. Thanks Zach!!​ ​

Zach from Green Line Talent was great. We were cutting it close to find a DJ for our wedding and really lucked out working with him. He took the time to meet with us several weeks in advance of our big day to brainstorm ideas and get a sense of the feel we wanted for the event. He also helped us track down a polka song to include. In addition, he made excellent suggestions based on what we had come up with beforehand. The day of the event we went with having the ceremony on the venue's outdoor terrace. We hadn't decided before whether or not we wanted music during the ceremony. Zach, along with our day-of coordinator extraordinaire, went ahead and put on music, which turned out to be perfect. ​

We used Green Line Talent for our wedding in October 2018. Having a good crowd on the dance floor all night long was important to us, but I was definitely nervous about our ability to choose music that would appeal to the whole guest list. Also, getting married in the outer fringes of the suburbs, with a smaller budget, I was a little worried our only options were going to end up being someone's uncle or a DJ whose influences are solely 80's hair metal bands. I mean, there's a time and place for everything...but with Green Line Talent & DJ Zach, we were able to have music that felt true to ourselves, but still had a little something for everyone, without sacrificing quality or spending an arm and a leg!

Getting a quote was easy and had all of the info I needed when making initial comparisons - no back-and-forth, hidden fees or pressure to book. I love that the "roster" section of the website has MULTIPLE sample mixes for each DJ - I saw so many other DJ companies that just don't do that. Meeting face-to-face to get to know Zach and talk about music tastes and preferences was great, despite the fact we weren't the most prepared couple at that time (pro tip: don't schedule your DJ meeting for the day after your bachelorette party)!​

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.

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!

​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!

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!

​​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!!

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!

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!!

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!

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!

Zach is a lifelong musician, tech savvy audiofile, and Green Line OG, boasting the most Five-Star Reviews in the Chicago Branch's history! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ He is a classically trained pianist who began writing and performing music in his teenage years. While obtaining his BA in Music Technology at Transylvania University, Zach was frequently invited to join the stage with a number of local bands, eventually landing a spot DJing for a local hip hop act. What began as a fun way to open and close shows, eventually evolved into a passion and a profession. 

Zach is well regarded for his ability to select both lesser-known tracks and modern hits that are guaranteed to get people moving. With a wide range of tastes and musical experience, he is able to put together a playlist for any occasion.

Currently Zach spends his days engineering sessions for a variety of musicians in his production studio, writing and mixing his own music, and gigging with a few different local acts. When he’s not in the studio, you might find him riding down Lake Front Trail or catching a jazz concert at the Green Mill tavern near his apartment.

We absolutely LOVED having Zach as our DJ! He did such a great job creating the perfect playlist and keeping the dance floor alive all night. Zach really took the time to get to know us and all our preferences during our initial meeting, and it absolutely showed on our day. Having Zach DJ for us truly felt like having a friend there for us. Cannot recommend enough!

We had the pleasure of having Zach B. as our DJ for our wedding in February 2025, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Despite a short engagement and a quick turnaround, Zach was exceptionally responsive and fully prepared from the start. We met once before the event to discuss our music preferences and the overall vibe, and Zach truly understood what we were looking for. On the big day, Zach seamlessly handled music for every part of our celebration—from the guest welcome and ceremony to the cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. Our guests, ranging in age from their early 20s to late 70s, all found something to enjoy, and the dance floor stayed packed all night thanks to Zach’s skillful transitions and genre-mixing. We received so many compliments on the music, and it was clear that Zach’s attention to detail made our wedding unforgettable. We highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and thoughtful DJ.

We hired DJ Zach B to be our wedding DJ and it was a great experience from beginning to end! He was extremely easy to work with and made the song selection process easy and fun. He did a fantastic job at our wedding and exceeded our expectations. We have had so many of our wedding guests rave about how good the music was and how good of a job he did! If you are looking for a wedding DJ - we highly recommend Zach! ​

We used Zach B for our wedding (30y.o. couple, 100ish people). He did a fantastic job! He was professional, listened to our preferences, and have very smooth transitions between tracks. Would recommend him to others

We worked with DJ Zach B as well as a Solo acoustic guitarist for our November wedding and WOW was I blown away!! Our guitarist (Dillon) was amazing, his vocals & guitar set was incredible and exactly what we were looking for for cocktail hour entertainment. Zach B was incredible to work with throughout the whole process. He met with us before hand to go through out preferences at a local brewery and help us nail everything down. Day of, everything from our dinner music to the dance party was amazing. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and he was able to read the room to appeal to a wide variety of audiences. He had my 80 year old grandpa dancing with our 30 somethings friends! Zach also came up with such a great soundtrack for dinner, that people are still raving about. I would HIGHLY recommend Zach & Dillon. Thank you so much for making our day so amazing.

Green line talent was a dream to work with, especially Zach B. He was able to read the room and play all the hits everyone loved on the dance floor. We got so many compliments about him afterwards, and we had the best time working with him.

My husband and I have a generally similar taste in music and vision of how we wanted our wedding to feel, but we were having a hard time narrowing down what would actually play and how to balance some of our differing tastes. Zach met us at a coffee shop for an hour and a half and pulled out of us exactly what we were looking for. He also accommodated our bizarre requests (like playing Atlien’s, Creed remix “One Last Dance” for our first dance, masterfully balanced Jewish songs for the Horah, made sure to play ENOUGH Beyonce for my liking, announced that I wanted to have a Limbo Competition mid party, AND played my husband sleeper hit requests like “I’m Blue”). Our guest’s reviews said it all - months later friends and family are stilling coming up to us noting how great Zach was and how much fun they had. Despite a venue that was super hot in the middle of a heat wave, that didn’t stop our guests from truly raging - thanks to you Zach!

As the photographer for Lexi and Dylan’s wedding, I had such a great experience working alongside the DJ from Green Line Talent! From the moment the reception started, the energy was amazing! The music kept everyone smiling, dancing, and celebrating all night long.

The DJ was super professional, easy to coordinate with, and perfectly timed key moments like the grand entrance, first dance, and toasts, which made capturing those moments effortless. It’s always a joy working with vendors who care so much about making the couple’s day unforgettable and Green Line Talent absolutely nailed it!

Can’t wait to work together again!

I made sure to write a review just so I could rave about our DJ, Zach B., and by extension, Green Line Talent. Anyone who talked to me for 30 seconds about our wedding knew that I cared a ton about the dance party. We left the music in Zach's excellent hands, and he carried it to soaring heights. Zach had people on the dance floor all night and many guests said he was the best DJ they'd ever heard. And this started from months of preparation--Zach met us before, got a feel for our music tastes, and then exhaustively reviewed genres and music artists with us to make sure he compiled the perfect playlist. His transitions were fantastic-- I'm still listening to them. And when we had a lighting fiasco a week before the wedding, Green Line immediately had our backs with their uplighting package (which was awesome, by the way). Book Green Line talent. Book Zach!!We had such a great experience with Green Line Talent. They were great about follow up and coordination - so easy to work with. We had Zach B as our DJ and he was incredible. So many compliments on how well he did throughout the entire night. We also had a sax and trombone - both musicians were incredible, and Zach worked with them so well. Highly recommend!!

We absolutely loved our experience with Green Line Talent for our wedding on 5/18/25. We initially met with Imani to talk about what we were looking for and how their process worked. We took their online quiz with matched us three DJs, we went with DJ Zach B. We also signed on for a string/harp trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The trio was amazing, we had so many compliments on the music and we loved that they were able to learn a specific song for me to walk down the aisle to. Hannah, the coordinator was great with communication. Nichole (harpist), Rachel (violinist), and Tim (cellist) were flexible, professional, and so kind. They were amazing performers! Our time with Zach was also loads of fun. We met with him prior to our wedding for us to talk about must-haves, do-not-play songs, etc. and he helped us go through some things we didn't think of. He was great during our wedding! Professional, organized, and went with the flow when our timing got a little off track :) He really read the room and the dance floor was packed all night. We are still getting compliments on the music selection and our DJ! Green Line was great along the whole way. Between Imani, Hannah, Zach, and the musicians, the team was great, communicative, and flexible when we added on some extras closer to our wedding date. We had a great experience and everything exceeded our expectations.​

 Zach B. Is the best! Super helpful and involved even before the event, so we knew he cared to understand the vibe we wanted. And delivered! The dance floor was always bumpin' and he made the night so memorable. Was a great MC as well and helped streamline all the important transitions.

Green Line Talent is great! If you are looking for a DJ who is professional and personable, I highly recommend Zach B. We never once had to think about sound or AV during our wedding. He can also pack a dance floor.

Long overdue review, but we hired DJ Zach through Green Line Talent for our wedding this summer, and we had a great experience with them throughout the entire process. We met with Zach before the event to discuss our music preferences, and he did a great job of understanding what we liked and accommodating that throughout the night of the event. It was a pleasure working with Zach, and we'd highly recommend him and Green Line Talent!

We had our wedding at Salvage One. Zach knew the space perfectly and crushed the music selection. My partner and I have pretty different music tastes but he was able to work in songs for each of us. We especially loved that he read the crowd, would try out songs, and if they weren't hitting, was able to adapt, adjust, and mix in a new song. Great for keeping the dance floor alive deep into the night. Easy to work with and very responsive. Would definitely work with Zach again!

 We had an absolutely incredible time at our wedding, and Zach played no small part in that! From the very first consultation meeting—where Zach took plenty of time to understand both the style and logistics of our wedding night but also the kind of music we love—to the night's last dance, he set the stage for us and our guests to have a blast. Communications with Green Line Talent were prompt and professional. We felt we paid a very fair price for the value of their services. And we can't count the number of our wedding guests who specifically complimented Zach's DJing as a highlight!

​Our DJ Zach was amazing, and we really enjoyed working with Green Line Talent. They made the selection and planning process super easy for us, and we had an in person meeting with Zach a few months before the wedding to go over our plan and do a vibe check, which was great for our confidence. On the day, Zach got to the venue early and set up in no time, he was constantly in communication with us, the GM for the venue, and our photographer about our timeline, he was a great MC, and the music choices throughout were on point. We got a bunch of compliments from our guests on how much fun they had dancing and how much they enjoyed the music. Zach even recorded the audio from our ceremony and toasts during the reception and shared the edited files within a week! Green Line Talent made the process a breeze, with helpful reminders of when things were due, and always making themselves available if we had questions or concerns.

If you're thinking about booking Green Line Talent---I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We got married in October 2023 and our guests have continued to say it was their favorite wedding with the most interactive party. This was made possible in large part to Zach from Green Line! Having special music moments was a top priority for my husband and I planning our wedding and Zach could not have been more helpful and flexible in curating exactly what we were hoping. We also had a request for an extra mic to sing and perform (LOL) on stage at our wedding and he was totally cool with it! We had so much fun and our guests had the chance to sing along and perform as well. It was such a fun dance and karaoke party that made the night feel like 'us' and felt unique. We are so appreciative of Zach and his attention to detail and flexibility. 10/10 recommend!​

Such an amazing and easy experience with Green Line Talent. Their questionnaire process was very efficient and helpful in finding the perfect DJ match for our needs. We felt very lost going into the process of searching, but they had all the right tools to put us at ease. Zach really was the perfect DJ for our wedding night. He was very detailed in his preparation and discussions with us in terms of music choices / preferences, and it really showed on the wedding night. All of our guests were blown away by the dance floor vibe and still rave about it months later. Everyone danced for the entire night because Zach put together the perfect set and read the room flawlessly. He was also an amazing MC and helped keep the night moving without a hitch. His experience really helped guide us. We couldn't recommend Zach more if you want your guests to have the best night with ideal vibes.​

We got married at an art gallery on April 1st, 2023 and had gotten in touch with GLT for a DJ. The team was great to work with, after a quick quiz call with Imani and Erica we got a list of DJ recommendations. We chose Zach from the list as it seemed like his musical profile best suited what we were looking for.

Zach was terrific to work with, after a quick meet up and finalizing our survey we were able to narrow down what we were planning for the day. We intermixed some specifically chosen Chinese songs with some modern and classic hits for the ceremony, cocktail hour and open dance and the dance floor was hopping throughout the evening, just like we wanted it! I would definitely recommend Zach to anyone looking for a DJ.​

We couldn't have had a better experience with Green Line Talent and our specific DJ Zach Bain-Selbo. From the first email they were incredibly responsive and professional. The questionnaire was incredibly helpful to ensure no detail of the event was overlooked and meeting with DJ Zach to talk music (for over 2 hours!) completely put our minds at ease. We couldn't recommend more.

We went with Green Line Talent for our July 2023 wedding in Evanston, Illinois, and couldn't have been happier with our DJ Zach Bain-Selbo! Zach met with us several months before the wedding to get a thorough feel for our musical tastes, and paid extra attention to the special songs that were "must-plays" for us. He absolutely nailed the vibe we were going for at our reception, and he was also an excellent MC keeping our reception on track and on schedule.

Our DJ, Zach, was excellent!  Can't recommend him enough.   We chose him for our wedding this summer because he has such a wide variety of musical tastes and seemed super prepared to handle all of the extra parts that go with a wedding reception.   He was extremely thoughtful and attentive during the planning process, and got every detail right on our big day.  He was careful to pronounce everyone's names correctly, kept everything running on schedule, and he absolutely blew the roof off when it came time for dancing.

Zach @ Green Line was THE BEST DJ we could have asked for for our wedding. From setting time aside to meet with us IN PERSON and discuss what we wanted and how/when to the actual day/night of our wedding it was very apparent that Zach cared about the entire event.

Not only did he respect our DNP list (we've heard horror stories), but the list he put together from our preferences was *incredible*. He read the room very well and EVERY song was a banger.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Green Line Talent and their fantastic DJ, Zach, for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing.

Zach, in particular, was an absolute delight to plan with. He brought great energy and enthusiasm to the process, making every meeting and conversation a breeze. His passion for music and his understanding of what we wanted for our special day was just what we were looking for and it was evident that he genuinely cared about making our wedding unforgettable.

The music at our wedding was an absolute hit, and we received countless compliments from our guests. Zach's ability to read the crowd and keep the dance floor alive was remarkable. The playlist perfectly blended our personal favorites and crowd-pleasers, ensuring that everyone had a fantastic time.

We used Green Line Talent for our wedding reception and they were wonderful to work with. I really like the survey they have on their website to help us determine what types of music we wanted for various parts of our reception. We also liked how many DJs they have with different styles. We were paired with Zach and he was everything we could have hoped for. He requested to meet us in person and got our music style down as well as the exact type of songs we did and did not want. He also made sure no guests made unannounced speeches. Highly suggest Green Line Talent and Zach for your event or wedding.

DJ Zach Bain is a phenomenal person and we don't have enough words to describe his efforts and strong character. He made sure to connect with us very early on to get a good idea about ours likes in music and genres. Come wedding day, which was in an outdoor setting, we experienced an inclement weather situation in Chicago's summer months. But Zach, being a trooper, came through and managed to keep the mood of the party uplifted. He is the reason for the party to go on smoothly without any interruption in entertainment. Zach is not only a superb DJ but a strong willed and selfless person who goes above and beyond to make sure the client and their guest are enjoying the party. I would strongly recommend to have Zach as their DJ at any event they choose to have in future.

Greenline talent was a fantastic talent agency to work with. We completed a short form and they recommended a few DJs that fit our needs and wants. Each DJ had a mix that we were able to preview to feel out their genre and style.
We worked with Zach and he smashed it out of the park. We met with him a month before the wedding and did a comprehensive overview of the different types of music we would like (and not like). We compiled a spotify playlist with all the different music for different parts of the wedding. Zach read the room with skill and played music that kept the party going. Many of our guests commented on the fantastic music and we loved how many people were on the dance floor instead of sitting in their seats. If the party didn’t end at midnight I’m sure everyone could have gone another hour or two.
Thank you Zach for facilitating an amazing party. We appreciated your communication and making this an unforgettable experience.

I cannot recommend GLT & specifically our wedding DJ Zach highly enough! We really wanted someone who would not just understand our taste in music, but who would also read the room & keep the full audience engaged. The dance floor was booming till the final minute of the event! I have heard nothing but glowing feedback from guests since, & I think it says a lot when friends text you just to say how great the DJ was. I'll be recommending Zach to everyone I know...& am already trying to come up with some other event I could hire him for. Thank you Zach & the GLT team for helping us create the perfect night!

We worked with Green line talent, specifically DJ Zach Bain-Selbo, and could not be happier with how the night went! The dance floor was packed and we received many compliments on the music from all age groups! Zach made the planning process so easy, meeting us in person beforehand to go through our preferences in-depth. He was more than willing to help us with a few special family song requests/shoutouts which we were grateful for. A DJ plays such an important role in the wedding and we would 100% recommend Zach! We also worked with Hannah at GLT to find an acoustic guitarist for our ceremony and cocktail hour who was really great as well. Thank you!!

Zach was a pleasure to work with ! He was super organized and excellent with clarifying exactly what we wanted for our wedding reception. He brought the sound system for outdoor wedding and help guide us through our reception. Greenline Talent's structure and forms help to make the whole process clear and easy too. We were worried that our dance floor would be empty since we had mix of so many 50 year olds and 20 year olds. Zach was able to collaborate with us and find just the right beats to keep all of us dancing all night long. His overall style is low key so that the bride and groom and the music was the where the attention was at. We got so many compliments on how fun the night was! Thank you Zach!

We had DJ Zach B at our wedding on 7/16/22, and he was awesome! He seemed very knowledgeable about music, and he asked several detailed questions about which kind of music we would like played at different points throughout the night. He helped brainstorm specific artists we'd like to have played, and he was easy to talk to. The day of, he arrived on time, set up his gear (which sounded great) and acted professionally. He wanted to follow our lead for the pacing of the evening and encouraged us to enjoy our wedding. He asked us if we had "must plays," and he waited to play those until he saw we were out on the dance floor (and not while we were taking pictures or making the rounds). We strongly recommend DJ Zach and all of Green Line to anyone! All around cool and kind dude :)

Zach (from greenline talent) DJ'ed our wedding and did an absolutely fantastic job. Zach is a true professional. Not only did he take the time to understand what we were hoping for at our wedding, what our music tastes were, what our guests would want to hear, and how all of that would fit into the overall experience of the night -- he also knows how to fill in the gaps with what everyone needs and wants to hear. When it came down to start the night off with dancing, every song followed perfectly from the last, and everyone danced the entire night. If you book Zach for your wedding or event, you won't regret it.

Zach was the DJ for our wedding and he absolutely nailed the music choices we were hoping for. He met with us prior to discuss our taste and although my wife and I had somewhat different tastes in music, he was able to blend the two seamlessly and keep the energy up the entire night. We had a small wedding (less than 60) and it was incredible that Zach's energy was great enough to keep people on the dance floor consistently the ENTIRE night. Guests of all ages were raving to us post-wedding about how there was really a song for everyone. Would highly recommend Green Line Talent, and specifically Zach!

There aren’t enough words to express how great of an experience we had with Zach from Green Line Talent. He played EXACTLY what we wanted. We wanted a packed dance floor throughout the night and that is precisely what we got - we had so many people come up to us and tell us how great the music was from start to finish. Zach also took the time to make sure that he knew exactly how to pronounce all of the names in our wedding party - it was clear that he’d put in a lot of time/effort for our wedding!

Zach was our DJ for our wedding this past weekend and WOW! He was a hit! The music was incredible. Our friends and family couldn't stop talking about what a fun mix of music it was. Zach and the Green Line team worked with us throughout the whole process to make sure they understood our preferred music and vibe. Everything went so smoothly! Zach was so friendly and really made the night special. We'd highly recommend Zach and anyone else at Green Line Talent for your wedding or events!

Green Line Talent was a joy to work with from start to finish. Like many couples, we were affected by COVID-19 and had to move our date three times. Each time Green Line Talent was responsive and flexible for us. They have multiple DJs to choose from with a great profile for each on their website. We went with Zach Bain-Selbo and were so happy we did. He was responsive, did a fantastic job the day of, and had a planning meeting with us a month beforehand to get to know us and our musical likes/dislikes. I would 100% recommend Zach and Green Line Talent to anyone considering hiring them!

A great dancefloor was my top priority when planning our wedding - it was the first thing I booked - and Zach made sure the dancefloor was going the whole night. I had a lot of opinions for the wedding music and was able to coordinate ahead of time along with day-of changeups. Zach accommodated my vibe suggestions as well as playing several deep cuts from my wedding planning playlist throughout the night.

I may be biased, but this was the most consistently lively wedding dancefloor I've experienced. I had to do a lot of running around on the night, but every time I made my way for 90 seconds of dancing, the crowd and music was perfect. Zach is a huge reason why. I don't plan on having another wedding, but if I did, I'd hire Zach again in a heartbeat.

Green Line Talent was so great to work with! Such a thoughtful and responsive team. They were able to accommodate our MULTIPLE date moves, and offered tons of flexibility.

Zach Bain-Selbo was our DJ day of and he was wonderful! Some family members performed a special song for my mother/daughter dance and he made sure they had everything they needed and were able to do a sound check before hand. He also helped us pull off a huge surprise dance for our guests. We cannot thank him enough!

Zach was our DJ for our August 2021 wedding and we could not have been happier. From the minute we booked Green Line Talent, we instantly felt at ease. They had a fun questionnaire to help us figure out our style, and about 2 months out Zach set up an intro call with us to learn more about what we were looking for. He was really responsive on email, too, when we had a few logistics questions. The day of the wedding, he arrived early and played amazing tunes that got so many people on the dance floor. This made me especially happy since I wasn't sure if people would dance at our brunch wedding, but thanks to Zach, they did! I'd highly recommend GLT for your wedding.

We hired GLT for our October wedding and we are so happy we choose them! We choose Zach to DJ our wedding, and he was simply amazing! Our dance floor was completely packed the entire night, and everyone since has told us how amazing the music was at our wedding! He totally understood what we were looking for, and did not disappoint! They were so easy to work with, and I did not have to stress about the music at all. When booking we had a zoom meeting with the one of the owners of the company, she was so incredibly nice and went out of her way to ease any anxieties we had. We are so happy we hired Green Line for our wedding!

The process leading up to the big day with Zach and Green Line Talent was easy and stress free which is all we could ask for. Overall great experience!

Zach was an excellent DJ for our wedding this past June! We couldn't be happier with the music selection from our ceremony all the way to the reception. We had a great time getting to know Zach as he stuck with us for 2.5 years through 2 postponement dates due to the pandemic. Zach was excellent to work with, very prompt on emails, and helped bring our vision of music choices to life at our wedding!

Zach was our DJ for our wedding and he was absolutely spectacular. Music was one of the most important parts of the wedding for us, and Zach more than delivered on expertise, equipment, and MC-ing skills. He kept everything moving smoothly throughout the night and was able to quickly pick up on the energy of the party. Our dance floor was not empty for a single second, and he did an expert job of mixing in the exact type of music we wanted. We had an extensive planning session with Zach prior to our wedding, where we discussed our ideas for music during the ceremony, at cocktail hour, during dinner, and of course, for dancing. He was also so polite, respectful, and easy to work with--he focused so hard on making the event about us and executing our vision. Zach made it so clear that we were in capable hands, which really allowed us to relax and enjoy our wedding. It's been almost a month and our friends are STILL talking about our amazing DJ. 10/10 would hire again! Don't hesitate!

​Zach did an amazing job. He kept the party movin' and groovin' all night and everyone who attended the wedding came back to us afterwards and said how much fun they had and how great the music was. We would definitely ask Zach back to DJ any future event.

We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Green Line Talent if you are looking for easy to work with owners for planning, talented DJs, and music to keep your dancefloor full all night long! Elissa and Erica were awesome to work with from the beginning and very responsive. Their recommendation for a DJ to fit our style was spot on with Zach and their website is set up to easily research which DJ’s style works best for you. We were able to talk with Zach before signing the contract and he immediately sold us with his kindness, can-do attitude, and experience. When filling out the planning form and talking with Zach a couple months in advance, he was very helpful in making sure he had a playlist of music we liked and knew the plan for the day of. My husband was especially interested in being involved, so Zach even sent over the list of songs a week in advance for review. We LOVED that he allowed us to be a big part of the process. Also, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the team was so supportive and flexible throughout the process of trying to adapt to state re-opening and mitigation restrictions. The day of our wedding, Zach exceeded our expectations by helping the ceremony and reception run smoothly, hand delivering my first drink from the bar (how sweet was that?!!), checking in throughout the night, adjusting for 30 minutes of overtime when the party wasn’t ready to end, and keeping the dancefloor full all night long! My husband and I have never been much for the dancing at weddings, but with our type of music, DJ Zach, and no cheesy line dances…we were out on the dancefloor THE ENTIRE NIGHT!! We could not have asked for a better experience or people to work with to make our night unforgettable!​

We loved working with Green Line Talent for our wedding in Chicago. Our DJ, Zach, did an awesome job at our wedding! We received many compliments from our guests that he played music that attracted all age levels at our wedding to get them up and dancing. The dance floor was never empty all night! My husband and I had to postpone our wedding twice and Green Line Talent was so understanding and helpful through the stressful times. Elissa and Erica were on top of emails and questions! They were great at sending reminder emails and checking in before our big day! I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a DJ!

The team at Green Line Talent (GLT) is so incredibly responsive and diligent. Partnering with them was easy - which is exactly what you want out of a music vendor.

Across the board, everyone (Elissa & Erica, DJ Zach, Violinist Hannah) was professional, receptive, and talented. People enjoyed the violin music, raved (yes, raved) about the music during dinner, and sang along all night as Zach blended songs. Without hesitation, I would recommend GLT to anyone.

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!

Green Line Talent was wonderful to work with, from start to finish! Erica and Elissa are friendly and communicative and were very open to working with the vision we had for music at our wedding celebration from the first conversation we had with them. DJ Zach continued with the great hospitality and was incredibly easy to work with. The process for sharing our music suggestions and preferences was very organized, and Zach did a fantastic job of playing the tunes we selected, while also adding his own touch that was very consistent with our taste. Our guests danced the whole time and we go so many compliments on the music. I highly recommend Green Line Talent if you're looking for professional, friendly, and talented DJ services in Chicago!

We absolutely loved working with Zach! We were very impressed with how detailed he was and what an interest he took to get to know both of us. He asked the questions we wouldn't have even thought of to ensure he fully understood our taste and what we envisioned for our day. He certainly delivered! From the minute the dancefloor was open until the end of the last song we had everyone on the dancefloor! He played a perfect mix of my husband and I's tastes and it was exactly what we wanted but didn't know how to explain. Thanks Zach!!​ ​

Zach from Green Line Talent was great. We were cutting it close to find a DJ for our wedding and really lucked out working with him. He took the time to meet with us several weeks in advance of our big day to brainstorm ideas and get a sense of the feel we wanted for the event. He also helped us track down a polka song to include. In addition, he made excellent suggestions based on what we had come up with beforehand. The day of the event we went with having the ceremony on the venue's outdoor terrace. We hadn't decided before whether or not we wanted music during the ceremony. Zach, along with our day-of coordinator extraordinaire, went ahead and put on music, which turned out to be perfect. ​

We used Green Line Talent for our wedding in October 2018. Having a good crowd on the dance floor all night long was important to us, but I was definitely nervous about our ability to choose music that would appeal to the whole guest list. Also, getting married in the outer fringes of the suburbs, with a smaller budget, I was a little worried our only options were going to end up being someone's uncle or a DJ whose influences are solely 80's hair metal bands. I mean, there's a time and place for everything...but with Green Line Talent & DJ Zach, we were able to have music that felt true to ourselves, but still had a little something for everyone, without sacrificing quality or spending an arm and a leg!

Getting a quote was easy and had all of the info I needed when making initial comparisons - no back-and-forth, hidden fees or pressure to book. I love that the "roster" section of the website has MULTIPLE sample mixes for each DJ - I saw so many other DJ companies that just don't do that. Meeting face-to-face to get to know Zach and talk about music tastes and preferences was great, despite the fact we weren't the most prepared couple at that time (pro tip: don't schedule your DJ meeting for the day after your bachelorette party)!​

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.

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!

​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!

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!

​​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!!

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!

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!!

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!

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!
