Backthird Entertainment has a lot of musicians and DJs to choose from, but just one job: “Happy made easy.” We show your guests a roaring good time. And we make your life as simple as we can.
The Backthird Party Machine is a modern dance band that packs floors playing everything from Sinatra to Lady Gaga. The Twin Strings ensemble offers everything from ceremony standards to string interpretations of Coldplay and Radiohead. Jazz trios and quartets ensure your dinner hour is a cut above the average.
We’re the only Chicago company to win Wedding Wire’s “Bride’s Choice” award in all three entertainment company – band, DJ and ceremony music – for three years running. To see why, visit www.backthird.com.
We offer an hour of solo piano free of charge to Geneva Brides booking the Backthird Party Machine or a “DJ Plus” ensemble for their reception. Call 630-264-2366 and mention Geneva Bride when you make your appointment. |
“I wanted to dance the whole night! All of our guests couldn't stop telling us what a great time they had, and more than a few people commented, "Now THAT was a wedding."
The flow of the DJ and band was seamless, and people were dancing from start to finish (especially me!). Benjie was GREAT to work with, and everyone was fantastic throughout my experience — it was literally effortless because I was NOT an articulate bride, though I knew where to spend my focus. If dancing, entertainment and a fantastically enjoyable evening are your top priority, BOOK THEM. I know that you won't be disappointed.
Thanks for taking hold of our wedding reception and rockin' it all night long! ”

“When we entered our venue, the jazz band was playing as cocktails were being served, and it took your breath away, as my matron of honor told me. The jazz band really made everything seem more beautiful! The pianist during dinner also did a wonderful job, and added some great music to the background of dinner. Mark Eaton, our DJ, was great about accommodating requests, and he really kept everyone dancing all night. I couldn't be happier that we chose Backthird Audio for our big day! ”

“Before speaking with you about our event we knew that a band/DJ combination was possible, but Backthird by far exceeded anything that we expected. Working with you was easy, fun, and seamless. One of the best parts of the whole experience was the music you and Twin Strings played! The current music on classical instruments was so "us." And then - above and beyond all that awesomeness - you accompanied my sister for the cocktail hour and then as she sang our first dance! There are truly no words to describe how perfect you made that moment for our families!”
