Celebration•Reviewed on August 21, 2019•From Evergreen Park, IL

My husband & I are extremely happy with with all that Alfonso attended us with! He really did take it above & beyond from meeting with us a couple of times prior to our event to ensure that we were going to receive all that we wanted! Alfonso took the time personalize everything to make our daughter's Sweet 16 extra special! We really appreciate the extra time taken to set up & highlight our daughter & our family! Thank you!!

Did an amazing job reading the crowd. Asking the correct questions before the wedding, following the itinerary! And hyping up the crowd. The Spanglish was perfection

We used Above and Beyond Entertainment for a corporate event. They were extremely communicative and flexible with our needs! We will definitely use them again in the future.

Great service all around from handling setting up for a band we had booked so they could just show up and play to providing a digital copy of all photos taken in the photo booth. Great bilingual MC as well.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 8, 2019•From Addison, IL

The ceremony music was spot on and very professional. The reception lightning and set up were great. The projection of couples logo above head table gave it a great touch. Al was very professional throughout and ensured the music and photo booth were running smooth. The reasons for lower scores were the mis pronounced names of bridesmaid and the last name of newly married couple when they were announced. The song dedication for mother and son song was also overlooked by actual Dj that night.

Very nice guys, always responsive during communications. The teens had fun. However there were a few glitches that could not be overlooked. Playing songs with cursing and bad language was previously discussed as unacceptable, but there were quite a few songs that were clearly not the radio edit. Contract stated the set up would begin by 6pm but the arrival time was closer to 8pm for an 830pm start. Lastly the attempt to charge for parking when the contract clearly stated it was included in the price and the credit card fee 4.75% gave me pause. Therefore I paid more than what was contractually agreed upon. Lesson learned here.

A&B was professional, and rapidly responsive. He was punctual and was very accommodating when requesting music. Super respectful, will be hiring for future events....My overall experience was great! Book him!

Wedding•Reviewed on September 29, 2019•From Elgin, IL

Completely disappointed.Meeting with Al was good he was professional &seem to know what he was doing so we had high expectations.We specifically requested a dj who spoke Spanish since it was going to be a full on Mexican wedding.The dj did not know any Spanish which ruined everything including our traditional dances.He did not know what to play even though we wrote the genres on our playlist.We never received our introduction walking in.The photobooth kept on going down &never got a photobook or the usb until after wedding which defeated the purpose of it since none of our guest wishes were on it.It was so bad one of our guest had to take over the mic DONT HIRE THEM!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on March 7, 2019•From Milwaukee, WI

We hired Al to provide Karaoke & DJ services for our corporate recognition banquet. He & his team, as well as his equipment & performance, were all top notch and just what we were looking for. His equipment and song list did the trick for 90+ people from all over the country, and he did a fantastic job of keeping our group engaged. He jumped in with DJ services each time there was a lull in karaoke activity, and kept a good flow of audience participation with singing and dancing. He also provided great background ambience during the cocktail and dinner hour. He also assisted with our awards & video portion of the evening. We would definitely utilize him again.

I want to thank you for your kind words on our feedback about the service we provide. We take great pride in building the best relationships with all our clients. It's wonderful to know our efforts are paying off. I hope we can be of service again in the future.

5 Stars across the board! Above & Beyond entertainment provided EXCELLENT entertainment for our Christmas party. There Karaoke selections were amazing, DJ services were phenomenal, and he stepped in to be the MC! We would definitely use and recommend his services. I can not thank you enough for being early, for extending our time, working with our theme, schedule, and bringing your energy to our Christmas Party. We are still talking about what a great time it was and anyone who uses his services will not be disappointed!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 22, 2018•From Addison, IL

Al and his team(Ray, was one of the 2 helpers) were exceptional! Above and Beyond truly says it all. They came early to set up their equipment. Very professional and independent, did not need any guidance, they knew what had to be done while I was getting ready to host my husband's 60th Oktoberfest birthday. Al can "read" the crowd, he did a wonderful mix of Oktoberfest music, different genres of music from 70-80's to keep the mixed young and old crowd dancing. We even had a guest who performed an Irish jig, which he had the music. Al was generous and offered to us a personalized digital photo booth which our guests really enjoyed. Highly recommended!

Alfonso did an awesome job! He was on-time with setting up the equipment which looked great. Played a mix of music that everyone appreciated. He got people to dance that I haven't seen dance before. Everyone really enjoyed themselves, he knew how to get the crowd going. I would definitely recommend his DJ services.

Wedding•Reviewed on August 20, 2018•From Elgin, IL

I highly recommend DJ Alfonso for any event! DJ Alfonso and his team did an awesome job at my wedding . Not to mention Emcee Edmundo also did an amazing job. They both had everybody on the dance floor, the photo booth was a huge hit. We were told all night “our wedding was the best wedding that they ever been too!” So if you want your event to be a huge hit and have everyone on the dance floor , you need to hire these guys, you will not be disappointed! Thanks again for making our wedding a night to remember!!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on December 19, 2018•From Cicero, IL

Overall, the experience was not bad, I felt like guests had a good time at my wedding. However, I felt like the DJ could have had a more specific contract stating the time and pricing. He gave us a quote on our first meeting and then gave us the contract with a completely different price. The night of the wedding we had set up to only go until midnight and he went over the time which we never agreed to and charged me more on top of the already changed amount. He also did not play the requested songs I asked for until hours later and played a lot of the same music (zapateado) for over an hour. I am most displeased with the amount he charged me than anything else.

Al was an excellent DJ for our event, very professional. His song selection was perfect, with a little something for everybody. He was very accommodating when asked to make announcements and to run our raffle. His interaction with the kids was fun to watch along with their excitement as he was prepared with his own giveaways, games and prizes. Definitely would hire Above and Beyond again!
