What Our Clients Say

We cannot say enough amazing things about 312 Entertainment and DJ Akib! Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, and so much of that is thanks to them.

From the very first planning call, Akib was professional, responsive, and genuinely excited to make our day special. He took the time to really understand our vision and music preferences, then built the perfect playlist.

The ceremony and cocktail hour felt elegant and seamless, and the second the reception started, he turned the room into a full-on party. It was literally a nightclub!
The dance floor stayed packed ALL night ! Guests are still texting us saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and they all specifically mentioned how incredible the DJ was.

Akib and the entire 312 Entertainment team went above and beyond. If you’re getting married in Chicago (or anywhere), book them. You will not regret it!

We used 312 for our corporate happy hour last week and they did an amazing job! They provided a Photo Booth, DJ, and some up-lighting. Will definitely be using them again!

DJ Akib absolutely crushed it at our wedding in April! The dance floor was packed the entire night! Seriously, nobody sat down. Akib has an incredible ear for the crowd and kept the energy going from start to finish with the perfect mix of songs. He was so easy to work with leading up to the big day, super responsive to our requests, and just genuinely made our celebration unforgettable. He's not only great at DJing, but a phenomenal business man. He negotiated with the venue, got approvals for things we were not able to ourselves, like cold sparks and live music outside. He cares about his clients and we couldn't have had a better experience with him in our corner.

Hired 312 to provide AV for our event. They were a pleasure to work with in Chicago, and we will be bringing them back to all of our events in the Midwest!

Created an amazing and unforgettable event. From the lighting, dance floor trusses to the DJ, it was spectacular. The dance floor was full the whole night!!! If you’re looking for a professional that goes the extra mile…this is the company to use.

the absolute best! they brought my wedding vision to reality and was even better than I ever imagined. Friendly, easy to work with, I’d recommend to anyone!

We hired Julian to DJ at our wedding. We were very happy with how he MC’d & the music he provided! He was very professional and showed up on time for setup. Everything went smoothly and all our guests had a great time! Akib went above and beyond every step of the way. Him and his team are great & a pleasure to work with. Can’t recommend this company enough!

312 Entertainment and DJ Akib did our wedding for us and to date- it was the best DJ we’ve ever seen at a wedding! Our crowd was very diverse and we needed a huge selection of music- country, Spanish, alternative, oldies, pop, etc and our DJ flowed them all together and kept the party going all night. Wouldn’t change a thing about the whole night!

I first met DJ Akib in 2018, and he's a phenomenal DJ who is well-connected. If he's not providing entertainment himself, he can easily and genuinely direct you to anyone on his team through his company, 312 Entertainment. He's got you covered with live bands, DJs, lighting, sound, decor, speakers, and more.

As a violinist, I've performed with many DJs, and Akib truly stands out. He knows how to read the room and elevate the energy to a whole new level. I'm consistently impressed by his skills and overall knowledge in the industry. I'm grateful to know him and to have had the opportunity to perform alongside him.
