Thank you, Autumn, for your wonderful review. I'm glad you were able to find me in your search for a DJ. Wonderful group of people & some excellent country dancers displayed their talents very well. The Saguaro Room was a great venue. I enjoyed this event & hope to see you all again in the future for another event.

Can I give a 10-star rating?? I would if I could. I can not even begin to say how awesome Hank is. My Fiancé found him by chance back in January and we knew right away we wanted him for our wedding October 16, 2021.

What made me the most confident was, besides the fact that he’s from the Chicagoland area, but the fact that he’s been doing this for over 30 years and is right in our age group. I KNEW HE WOULD JUST GET IT. I didn’t want some young kid spinning/mixing a bunch of crap I’ve never heard of before. I wanted some good ole 80’s hair band music mixed in with traditional, and whatever else I or my guests wanted on request.

Where to begin with Hank, the man. Let me tell you, first, he is SO professional that when we hired him, he sent us all the detailed documents that would outline our event (timeline, toasts, song choices, traditions we wanted, etc) so he’d be on top of the whole thing. He set up plenty early and even changed into a tuxedo for the event. I’m guessing from pictures I have seen that he dresses the part to match the occasion he’s participating in. He was a host I could rely on ALL NIGHT which I did. Every time I needed something, he was right there for me helping me resolve and put out any potential “panic” a bride might “think” she’s experiencing. His experience enabled him to gauge the group and know just the right songs to play and when. He was easy to communicate with and very responsive in the planning phases.

When I finally met Hank on my actual wedding day, I felt like I’d known him forever. He is so friendly and familiar. He was my angel all night. A DJ can ABSOLUTELY make or break a wedding celebration and without a doubt, Hank made mine perfect. Friends and I are STILL talking 3 weeks later about how great the party was because of Hank and the great music. I’d say about 99% of the guests stayed til the very end b/c it was just that fun.

I was sorry the reception ended and my “relationship” with this wonderful guy was over. A bunch of us want to throw a random party JUST SO WE CAN HIRE HIM AGAIN.

He played all my song choices and had everything my guests requested at random. I can not recommend ENOUGH this fantastic and professional, friendly DJ for any celebration you are planning.

Thank you HANK! We already miss you! One of my friends is thinking her retirement party next summer. . . :) More...

Thank you, Patty, for your wonderful & heartfelt review. I am so humbled by your compliments beyond words. I genuinely enjoyed working with you on planning this memorable event! I am so glad Ray found me on Bark. We all connected seamlessly from the moment I arrived until the end of the event. I always enjoy getting DJ events with folks from my hometown of Chicago or Chicagoland area. I sure do hope we have the chance to connect again on another event so that we all can enjoy another wonderful time together. God Bless you & Ray. Wishing you both wonderful happiness as you go forth together as Man & Wife!

Hank did an amazing job at our wedding and reception and played our favorites as well as the requests from our guests. He is very professional and has great attention to detail. This is the second time that we have used his services and would strongly recommend him for any DJ need! More...

Best wishes to you & Manny.

We all had such a wonderful time. Your music was just what we all needed. I really appreciated you playing light music while we ate.

Thank you for hiring me Michelle. I look forward to working with you.

Hank was amazing from the very start. He contacted us in a very professional and knowelodgeable manner immediately after we did the search looking for a DJ for Lou's 60th Birthday Party. The party theme was 1960s Rat Pack/Mad Men. We found out that he was a fan of the era and the music we were looking for. So we were very excited to have him. He was very willing to work with us in planning the party as well as the timing and the flow of the music and activities. Also, he was willing to play different types of music, if that was what we wanted. The day of the party Hank showed up prior to the start of the party to set up his equipment. Also, his attire was impeccable and more than suited for the theme of the party. Dean Martin would have been very proud of Hank's classy appearance. During the party, the music was outstanding and Hank's interaction with the guest was friendly, helpful and professional. The party was on June 12th, so obviously it was hot, but throught it all Hank had a great attitude, always smiling and making sure everybody enjoyed themselves. Many of my guests complimented us on the music and Hank himself. No doubt I would choose him again and again. I higly recomend him !!!!! HE IS THE BEST!!!!!
Many thanks to Hank!!!! More...

Thank you Lou & Carina for your wonderful review. I am truly humbled by your kind words. What a wonderful event this was! I love the Rat Pack & Dean Martin! This was right up my alley without a doubt. This was so much fun. The collection of 60's items was incredible! Carina spent months finding these items on FB Marketplace & OfferUp. I was impressed & let her know what a fantastic party she planned & hosted. Almost everyone who stopped up at my table really liked my Dean Martin animated singing & moving doll, wanted to know where I got it & took a picture with it. A party that was supposed to end at 11 PM ended at 2 AM! A memorable night without a doubt! Thank you for hiring me for this event. One of my top 5 favorite events in all the years I've been doing this!

Hankster's Entertainment is AWESOME! Our event was an 80th Birthday Celebration so guests were of all ages. Hank did a great job playing music for everyone to enjoy. Loved the lights on the dance floor. I highly recommend Hankster's Entertainment Service. More...

Thank you so much Caleb for your kind words & wonderful review. I'm very humbled by them. You & Rebekah were absolutely wonderful to work with. Your families & friends were ready to celebrate a very special & blessed day for you both from the Ceremony right until the end. Great group of people. I wish you & Rebekah all the best that your new lives as Man & Wife have to offer. God Bless.

Working with Hank was amazing!! From the very beginning, he was reliable, organized, and professional. He was an excellent MC and worked with us to make sure every part of the wedding reception was perfect, from entrance to take-off! Not only did he provide excellent DJ and MC services, he was a huge part of making the wedding day the most magical day ever. The day of our May wedding brought 105+ heat, a dust storm, and a sudden monsoon, but Hank was stalwart through all the weather troubles. After the rain stopped, we went outside and had the best dance party I could have imagined. Every single one of my guests had an amazing time. Hank kept the party going even when everything felt like it was going to be a disaster, and it turned out to be the best night ever. Thanks, Hank!! More...

Hank was a super kind man, who took everything we brought him into consideration. He handled all of our requests with excellence and was a joy to work with! He desires to be as involved as you wish him to be and was just the type of personality we were hoping for in a DJ. He warmed up those in attendance well and kept them engaged with jokes, and games! He was also crucial to how our wedding ran on a timeline and was so great at directing those who attended on what was next for the night. The dance floor was SO FUN! Hank came through was a great order of dance and party songs for the group to go nuts to. He did a great job overall and we would recommend him to anyone! More...

Hank was amazing! I had previously seen him at a friend's wedding and he came highly recommended. He was very easy to communicate with leading up to our wedding and had everything ready to go day of, including some very last minute requests from my family. He was an excellent emcee and kept the party rolling. The price for the level of professionalism is unmatched. More...

Hank is very professional and loves what he does. He asks for music requests weeks before the DJ event. He is very open to requests as he is spinning (well that’s an old concept). At our holiday event he wore his Christmas sport coat and even brought a dancing elf with him. Thanks for making our event so much fun Hank! More...

Hank was a terrific DJ! I could not have asked for anyone better for my wedding. He was much more than just a DJ...he kept my Husband and I on track the whole night. Coming to find us when the next activity was taking place. Making sure that we had all the timing correct that we gave him before the wedding. If it wasn't for Hank, I don't know how we would have ever stayed on track lol The guests loved him, especially since they were able to request songs at the wedding.
