Frequently Asked Questions

Every package is built around your event — the duration, your guest count, and the venue. Most private events come in well within the range you'd expect for a full-service professional entertainer with concert-quality sound, lighting, and hosting. Fill out our quick quote form and we'll send you a custom number within a few hours. No obligation, no sales pressure — just a straight answer built around your specific event.

Yes! We regularly serve the entire Chicagoland area in addition to Northwest Indiana. That includes neighborhoods like the South Side, as well as suburbs like Orland Park, Tinley Park, Oak Lawn, and more. Travel fees may apply depending on distance — just mention your location when you reach out.

Everything. Concert-quality speakers, wireless microphones, a large lyrics screen, dynamic LED stage lighting, a professional host/MC, 75,000+ songs, full setup and teardown, and social media content creation at no extra charge. You don't need to rent or bring a single thing.

Absolutely. You and your guests can submit song requests ahead of the event, and we'll make sure they're ready to go. Just let us know when you book and we'll set up a request link or take requests directly.

Summer and holiday weekends fill up fast — sometimes 4–6 weeks out. For the best availability, we recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance. That said, if you have a last-minute event, reach out anyway — we'll do our best to make it work.

No stage needed. We work in backyards, living rooms, banquet halls, bars, breweries — anywhere there's enough space for guests to stand and sing. We just need access to standard electrical outlets (we'll confirm details when planning your event).

Yes — we've hosted events with 200+ guests. Our sound system is scaled to fill large spaces, and our host is experienced at managing big crowds and long song queues to keep things moving and fun for everyone.

Yes. If your venue requires a COI (certificate of insurance), we can provide one. Just let us know the venue's requirements when you book and we'll handle it before the event.

We accept payment via Square (credit/debit card) or other arrangements. A deposit is typically required to secure your date, with the balance due on the day of the event. We'll walk you through everything when we confirm your booking.

Yes — between singers we keep the energy going with curated background music that matches the vibe of your event. No awkward silences. If you have a playlist preference (upbeat pop, classic hits, themed music), just let us know and we'll tailor it.

No problem. We bring our own large lyrics display — it's part of the standard setup. Your venue doesn't need to provide any AV equipment. We're fully self-contained from sound to screen to lights.

Absolutely. We host everything from kids' birthday parties to adult corporate events. Our host adjusts the energy and song selection to fit the crowd. For family events, we keep things clean and age-appropriate — just let us know the guest mix when you book.

Yes — we can split the night between DJ sets and karaoke blocks, which works great for weddings or longer events. A common format is DJ for dinner and dancing, then karaoke later in the evening when guests are warmed up and ready to sing.

Most private events run 2–4 hours. Bar residencies are typically 3–4 hours. We can accommodate shorter or longer bookings depending on your event — just let us know your timeline and we'll make it work. Setup and teardown are not counted against your booked time.
