    Consummate Professionals!

    Every person I dealt with was knowledgeable, professional, and responsive to any questions I had. Everyone helped develop the ideas in my head, added to them, and made our celebration a success! Amongst the day-of chaos I was dealing with for last minute details, everyone from Spark Entertainment Group remained calm, cool, and collected. The setup optimized use of the space, and the music kept the party vibe going! I would enlist their service again in a heartbeat!

    Wedding June 8th, 2024

    I dont even know where to begin... I cannot recommend Duerell and Spark Entertainment enough!!
    Since the first day my now husband and I got engaged, our biggest concern was making sure we got a kickass DJ, and boy did we do our research and got a KICKASS DJ. I found Duerell through great reviews, and finding out a mutual friend of ours used him for wedding, and she RAVED about him. I inquired through his website, and within 24 hours, we had a response, with their packages, and we set up a Zoom to meet with Duerell.
    During our initial zoom meeting, Duerell was attentive and responsive to what we were looking for. We wanted to make sure we appealed to all age groups, and kept our dance floor packed all night.

    Duerell isnt your typical DJ. He brought the energy, kept the crowd involved, and really read the room and could see what we waned the next song to be. HYPE music was our motto and did Duerell bring it! He took every meeting we had with him, personal, making sure he knew what we wanted to play, what we didnt and how we wanted the day to go. It really is up to the DJ to make sure everything is on schedule, and he really made sure all Speeches were on time, dances were on schedule, and we were on the dance floor by the time we wanted.

    We had a minor rain issue and had to change our ceremony from outdoors to indoors, and he worked to make sure our music, and audio was good to go with only 20 minutes until the ceremony!

    Everyone raved about him... People still are talking about how fun our Dance floor and how amazing Duerell was. His tech team killed it too, making our photobooth go off without a hitch, and setting it up almost immediately after our ceremony, so people could use it during cocktail hour.

    We truly were bummed when the night was over, because of how spectacular DJ Jones was. I will never stop recommending him. Truly one of the best investments we could have made when it came to wedding planning.

    We hope to have the opportunity again to be at a wedding with Spark Entertainment, and if we dont, we may just need to throw another wedding!

    Five stars isnt enough

    Duerrell is just the best. Our dance floor stayed packed the entire night and we had such a blast.

    It’s taken us a couple weeks to sit down and really be able put into words how much our wedding day meant to us.


    First of all, thank you.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. From the bottom of our hearts. We can’t thank you all enough. We had the best night of our lives and had so much fun. Everyone has been raving about DJ D Jones and the playlist and how much fun they had dancing the night away. There are truly no words to describe how perfect it was and amazing and memorable it was to be surrounded by all of our loved ones on the dance floor just going feral.

    Since Andres and I started dating 8 years ago, we always talked about a must have for our wedding and the most important aspect. We BOTH immediately said entertainment/ music was number one. By far. We knew we wanted to invest and when we came across Spark Entertainment and when I sat with Jazmin to talk through our vision, we just immediately knew it had to be Spark. We listened to so many playlists and researched all types of DJs but truly what stood out to me was the professionalism, the fact we felt like we just clicked well with Jazmin and Duerell, but also just they got it and understood us. We’re just obsessed with DJ D Jones and every day in our household ask each other if we saw his last stories or party posts and just reminisce.

    Everyone on the team was just so professional, so genuinely nice, and just knew exactly what we wanted and how to bring it to life. We had a challenging guest mix, from our Latin families, to young people, to older crowds, to our southern friends 🤣 and DJ D Jones just killed it. He somehow knew what to play to get everyone together. We were so bummed when the party was over. While we were exhausted, we would have danced the night away.

    We will be referring to literally everyone and writing many reviews but we just want to thank you so much.

    We may have to throw a party soon just to get DJ D Jones back into our lives.

    Truly Amazing

    We knew that investing in a quality Dj that does more than just play a Spotify playlist would be well worth it… but Duerell truly far exceeded our expectations. We were so impressed hearing his sets on SoundCloud that we just gave him pretty general directions for the vibe of the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We trusted him as the expert and couldn’t have been in better hands. He kept the energy up and kept the party going throughout our entire wedding. We got tons of compliments on the DJ all night too! He was awesome, professional, and so fun to work with.

    Our dance floor was packed all night!

    If you want a DJ that will keep your dance floor going all night long, look no further; Spark Entertainment and DJ D Jones (Duerell) are who you’re looking for! Duerell artfully engages the room and keeps the energy fresh, fun, and flowing 😎

    We actually started out thinking we wanted a band, and when we were disappointed by those options, we were at a loss because we had only experienced “cheesy” DJs at other weddings we had attended and did not want that vibe. Our wedding planners recommended DJ D Jones, and we could not have made a better choice going with him. The unique thing about Duerell is that he listens to your suggestions and preferences, and then builds off them in the moment, so you have a constantly bumping playlist that is curated to your tastes. He reads the vibe of the room and adjusts accordingly to make sure the energy never drops.

    He was also so accommodating and helpful to us throughout the planning process. We were very particular about the songs we wanted played during the hora, and he made sure to play only the list we had given him for that portion of the dancing. In one of our planning meetings before the wedding, he heard how much we wanted the dance floor energy to be high, and suggested a short dance set immediately after cocktail hour (then worked with our planners to make sure it fit into the timeline), and that really set the bar for the evening. He also (unbeknownst to me) worked with my parents to play a special audio recording during their speech that they had sent him prior to the wedding.

    Literally everyone has raved to us about how much FUN they had at our wedding, and that is thanks to Duerell and Spark Entertainment. Don’t hesitate to book them, you will not be disappointed!

    Great Experience with Spark!

    We worked with Spark Entertainment for our wedding. Every interaction we had with the team at Spark was excellent. They are extremely responsive and transparent throughout the process. They have a portal with anything you’ll need during the planning process, including the ability to add “must play” and “do not play” songs. DJ Sik Wit It DJ’d our wedding and was a great emcee as well. We wanted to cut a verse out of our first dance song and DJ Sik Wit It was able to cut it out and even shared it with us ahead of time to ensure we liked it. Spark provided microphones/audio support throughout the ceremony and dinner/speeches and were flexible with the venue’s audio needs/layout. We truly felt like we were in good hands and didn’t have to worry about this piece of the wedding planning process. We had a great experience with Spark and would definitely recommend!

    Professional, Fun, High Energy

    Couldn't be happier with Spark Entertainment group as a company as a whole as well as our DJ for the evening, D. Jones. The whole process from beginning to end was incredibly professional and the night of the wedding itself was an absolute blast thanks to D Jones! You cannot go wrong with this combo!

    11/10 Experience

    We cannot speak highly enough about Spark Entertainment, DJ D Jones, and DJ Pharaoh. The entire team by far exceeded our expectations and we loved every step of the process. DJ Pharaoh knocked it out of the park in every way possible, both as a DJ and a host. The music was so perfectly crafted from start to finish. He truly set a perfect vibe and we had a packed dance floor all night. He even had my 90 year old conservative catholic Grandma dancing to Touch the Sky. I'm not exaggerating when I say the entire family cannot stop talking about how cool that was - and how happy she looked doing it!
    DJ Pharaoh is absolutely phenomenal and Spark Entertainment is without a doubt the best company you can hire in Chicago for your wedding.

    Party of my dreams!

    DUERELL IS THE BEST! He turned our wedding into the nightclub of my dreams- our friends and family are still talking about! He went above and beyond to make our day truly special, I had a very specific vision of the type of music I wanted throughout the night and he went above and beyond to make suggestions and made the night perfect. He helped us navigate our vision, he even gave us a form to fill out that asked us questions about my husbands and my music preferences. He gave us ideas and suggestions to get the party started that got every single person on the dance floor with the first song. The entire flow of the night was perfect, starting with an amazing entrance and mixed our walk out song perfectly into our first dance song. Spark gives you access to a portal to add songs to was super easy to navigate, and even connected to my Spotify so made it so easy to create an outline for the night. We had ages from 95 to 16 and every single person had a song they could dance to and enjoy. Most of my guests said they didn’t sit down once. I spoke to many different vendors before I decided on Spark entertainment, we clicked after the first call and I knew without any doubt I had to have them for our wedding.
    I wanted a live music element for the reception, and saxophone was the PERFECT way to take our party up to the next level. We had Jimmy come “crash our party” and play along with music the and my family is still talking about how incredible he was and how seamlessly he integrated with every song. I can’t say enough about Spark, I will cherish my night forever! Thank you DJ D Jones and team!

    Cold sparklers

    We hired Spark Entertainment to come out to our son’s wedding and set up the cold sparklers and set them off 3 times during the reception. Everything went great and the sparklers really added to the party! Would highly recommend.

    Unparalleled DJ Services!

    DJ D. Jones and his team are, simply, unbelievable.....They provide services that are unparalleled and for a bargain price. What really swayed us from the beginning was the professionalism and presentation that DJ Jones put together to give us an idea about the kind of services Spark Entertainment provides. We saw videos of weddings that were exactly the kind of lively, upbeat ambiance we wanted at ours. On top of all of this.... DJ Jones is so kind!!! We got off the call and immediately hired him! The process moving forward and up until the wedding was flawless...the online portal is easy to use and DJ Jones has so much knowledge and experience to help fill in the gaps that we couldn't for music selection. Our wedding reception and dance floor was a PARTY....He found unique remixes of songs we liked and kept everyone on the dance floor. Sincerely and truly the best!!

    DJ D. Jones - The Best

    DJ D. Jones is simply the best! From the first day we met, he walked us through his process, provided us a detailed breakdown of everything he needed to make our party the best. He took our vision and executed it flawlessly. We had so many of our guests talk about how much they loved the music playlist and that this was the best wedding party they had ever been to. If you want a DJ/Emcee who cares about every detail and wants your party to be great as if it was his own then go with DJ D. Jones. So glad we hired him and beyond thankful for the way he kept the fun going all night long!

    Awesome Dj and staff

    Dj D Jones and his crew were awesome to work with! From our first conversation with him we knew he’d be a perfect fit for our wedding. He kept the dance floor full, the guests engaged, and often took the time during the reception to ask if we were having a good time. We also had a guitarist through them that killed it at the ceremony! They also provided uplighting and a 360 booth that our guests loved! Dj D jones was just the vibe we were looking for, and we are so happy we selected him. From start to finish he was professional, quick to answer my emails and just a pleasure to work with.

    Amazing and exactly what we wanted!

    DJ D Jones and Spark are the best! Dedicated to his craft, organized, and after a few meetings he knows exactly what to play the night of the wedding! Drummer Tony was a great touch to our wedding as well! The dance floor was packed all night! Definitely would hire again for any future parties.

    What a hit!

    What a professional, organized and outstanding group of people! Between the Zoom meetings, web portal, and quick email responses, I would recommend Spark Entertainment Group & DJ D. Jones to anyone!

    We had an outdoor wedding that needed to be shifted under a tent and they handled it so well. DJ Pharaoh read the room, understood the vibe and age group and got the party started for a group that isn't always a star on the dance floor. We weren't too sure how our guests would dance, but we had EVERY guest dancing & having a great time until the end. All of the credit goes to DJ Pharaoh for that. And the photo booth was a HIT! Between the GIFs, photos and ease of use, all of our guests loved it! I'm so glad I used Spark for the photo booth too!

    Throughout the planning process, Spark was helpful, professional, and quick to provide answers. Shout out to Jazz for being such a great asset and help with all of the logistical/financial questions I had along the way.

    TLDR: If they're available on your day - book them!

    We utilized Spark Entertainment and DJ Sik Wit It & he was amazing. We had a mix of African songs that he mixed in and kept the people dancing all night. Spark entertainment was really easy to work with. I appreciated the emails throughout giving instructions on what was coming up like the meeting with the DJ, questionnaire etc. I would highly recommend to anyone they are amazing!

    Awesome DJ and Team!

    The Spark Entertainment team was amazing to work with and DJ One Chance made our reception a blast! We worked closely with Duerell and Jazmin throughout the wedding planning process. Duerell and DJ One Chance made sure our reception timeline was seamless and fun. Our guests raved about the music and how sore their feet were from dancing more than a week after our wedding! We could not have chosen a better team and DJ. Highly recommend!

    Hands down the best DJ!

    Had the pleasure of working with DJ D. Jones for my wedding and to say that he was phenomenal would be an understatement! From our very first meeting all the way through to our final planning meeting- he was professional, punctual, organized and very knowledgeable. The dance floor was packed from start ti finish. I had several guests ask how/where I found DJ D. Jones because they enjoyed his set just that much! I would definitely recommend him; you will not be disappointed!

    DJ One Chance was Amazing!!!

    DJ One Chance DJ’d our New Year’s Eve wedding in Chicago and did not disappoint. His ability to read the room was perfect and kept the dance floor packed all night long. He played an excellent combination of classic wedding songs, modern hits, and special requests. He even played some Polish dance hits, which was a favorite of the bride’s family. DJ One Chance and the Spark Entertainment Group get our highest recommendation!

    Non-Stop Dance Party

    Our wedding guests are still talking about the non-stop dance party that was our wedding on 11/5/22. DJ D. Jones style and skills made our wedding a success from the moment out wedding guests began arriving to our last dance.

    From our consultation to coordinating with wedding planner DJ D. Jone and the Spark Entertainment team made it easy to plan the special moments we wanted our guests to remember through regular check-ins to the use of an online portal.

    I highly recommend DJ D. Jones for your wedding or event!

    Excellent work during a difficult COVID wedding!

    Duerell was a great DJ to work with! He was very flexible with us on our date, very communicative, and he listened to our music requests. He had great taste and picked good songs from our more vague instructions (an hour of ska music). It was a shame we weren't allowed to have a dance floor because Duerell definitely would have gotten people to dance on it! He also did a great job MCing the wedding's first half, and his photobooth was great. Thanks again Duerell!
