December is about to come to a close here at the Operation Getdown office and it’s been another great month/year. It’s been a month filled with weddings, corporate Christmas parties, birthday celebrations and even a few school dances. Lots of variety and that’s always been something that we love about our profession!
There has also been quite a few updates on our Chicago Wedding DJ site. In case you missed it, we’ve posted several new Jam Cam videos that you have to see; including a Lemont Wedding Video and a Mokena Wedding Video. Both of these receptions were a total blast and we highly recommend you check them out. Our clients have always had great style so we thought it’d be fun to showcase some of their recent December weddings. These videos will also give you a sneak peak into the Dinolfos Banquet Hall and even the Cog Hill Banquet Facility. Very cool!
Chicago Wedding DJ December Highlights
As we ponder on this past year though, we want to take a moment to thank you; our previous clients, family, friends and vendors for all of your support and kindness you’ve shown to us over this year. Without you, 2010 would not have been the same. From the bottom of our hearts we want to say thank you! We’re looking forward to another great year and lots more exciting weddings, school dances and private parties. 2011 here we come! Happy New Years!

Special Thanks to Keith & Maribeth Krikau for saying such kind words about us on our WeddingWire page. In case you missed it, here’s what they had to say after their June 2010 Munster Wedding that was held at Cloister in The Woods.
“Stevie Dee from Operation Get Down was fantastic. We would recommed him to anyone that is looking for a great DJ. He knows his business,he knows music and was very professional. He was the most professional of all the DJ’s we met and interviewed. Stevie Dee was very personable and was helpful and accomodating throughout the entire process. During the reception he kept the music going and he knew how to keep the dance floor full and hopping. Stevie Dee was very attentive to my husband and I and made sure we had everything we needed from the time we arrived to the time we left at the end of the reception. He worked very well with the reception hall staff and with our guests. We can not say enough about Stevie Dee and how wonderful and professional he was. We would definitely hire him again and would whole heartedly recommend him.”
Thanks again Keith and Maribeth for sharing your recent experiences! It’s greatly appreciated. We do hope all is well!
