We had a great experience with Todd. After our initial call with him, to the wedding night, Todd exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was a small, 50-person event with both indoor and outdoor spaces in River North. Todd worked with that perfectly, providing a seamless sound system for both areas, along with a mic/stand for our vows and headset mic for the officiant. On the wedding day, we were running a bit flustered from photos when we arrived to the event space. We had not had a chance to meet Todd before that but once we arrived, he immediately put us at ease. He was already set up, dressed well, and greeted us in a warm, professional manner. He guided us through every moment of the night, from announcements to the first dances and cake cutting. It was a huge relief for the day. One of our biggest fears was that people may not dance much, especially with guests from different backgrounds. But Todd was exceptional at reading the room and getting the party started. He had excellent music selection and judgment. We gave him a small list of songs, including Albanian and Russian songs. He knew exactly when to play them, and our guests were on the dance floor until midnight. We received so many compliments on how much fun the DJ made the night. If you want a DJ who is professional, a great communicator, and an expert at keeping the energy high, Todd is a great choice! read more

Don't think twice, hire him! If you need more convincing then just continue to read my review. THE BEGINNING My husband and I were set to get married on April 5th, 2020. Todd was incredibly responsive and kind. His pricing was more than reasonable and he made it so easy to make the day how we wanted it. The best part of it was that he was so reassuring, so kind, and so excited about our wedding day! COVID-19 Covid-19 then came along and we had to reschedule. I was overwhelmed because I had no idea if we were even having a wedding at all in the future. The easiest part about having to reschedule my wedding was Todd. When I wrote him frantically about all the possibilities I was thinking, he calmly wrote me back reassuring that we can easily change the day, the amount of time needed, or even cancel and refund completely. I was instantly relieved and knew I definitely wanted this man to DJ/MC our wedding still. Todd made it super easy to reschedule and even accommodated us with the new and much further location at no additional charge. WEDDING DAY October 11th came along and Todd was there early to set up and was beaming at my husband and I when he saw us. It felt like a friend was there to support us. He was so energetic, so happy, so entertaining, and just a complete joy to have. All night I kept hearing what an amazing DJ he was. He kept us on schedule and got every song we wanted to hear in. He made it feel special, he made it fun, and was completely professional. Again, I felt like we had just another supporting and loving friend there the whole time. FINAL WORDS Hire him! read more

We used Todd for a 50-person company party this week to do karaoke for us. He was awesome and easy to work with. We had to postpone the party at one point due to the Omicron variant and Todd was accommodating and understanding of that. He was professional, fun, energetic, timely, flexible, and just an all-around great guy to work with. The team loved karaoke and he played great music to keep the energy going. Highly recommend Todd and his services! read more

Todd was amazing!I got married on July 18th, 2021 at Makray Memorial Golf Club and Todd was our DJ. Todd was absolutely amazing. He followed all of our wishes, while artfully choosing music that was appropriate for the night. He started with family friendly music and as the night got later he played more dance/club type music. Todd got everyone out on the dance floor. He has a great personality and was very welcoming and encouraging to all. After my wedding, I received many compliments from my guests beaming about how fun our wedding was and how great the musical choices were. Not only did Todd keep everyone dancing and having a good time, but he is affordable. I would recommend him to anyone. He is simply the best! read more

Todd was awesome ! He was responsive and helpful from day 1. Worked with us patiently on the perfect playlist. Our wedding was magical with the extra touches Todd put in. He was able to read the crowd well and keep the party going ! I would definitely recommend Todd. Good value and quality for the price . read more

Where to start...Todd Arcari was awesome!! From start to finish, Todd did an excellent job in communicating and making our special day even more special. The ceremony in which he supplied all the sound equipment worked out amazing! The most impressive part was the ceremony. He killed it on the introductions and had everybody dancing all night! Todd was super personable and accommodated all of our requests. If you're looking for a high quality DJ, I highly recommend Todd! read more

Wow...where to even start! I had a very tight budget and explained to Todd what I was working with--he was so understanding and was the first vendor to be personable and patient with me as I was planning my wedding. We had to change our date from what we originally booked and Todd was flexible enough to still be our DJ on the new date. He was spot on with the kind of music we requested and was sure to keep the dance floor going until the very end. I'm a big dancer myself, so to know I was constantly dancing is a good thing in my book! My husband and I both agree that it felt like we knew Todd forever- he is so friendly, easy to talk to, and made the wedding planning process that much better (I didn't stress at all about the DJ!) I would recommend Todd and would definitely hire him again for any big events our family may have. Thank you so much for all of your hard work Todd! read more

Todd exceeded all of our expectations as a DJ!!! He was incredibly professional and responsive to work with as well as gave many helpful suggestions and created a timeline for the reception that flowed perfectly. I told Todd that we wanted more of a 'nightclub feel' to our dancing and he knew how to mix the right dance music and had really cool laser lighting that kept the DANCE FLOOR PACKED until 3am!!! We would have continued partying but our venue had to close for the night :) I cannot give Todd enough praise for creating such a great party atmosphere. All of our guests were VERY impressed and enjoyed all of the music. I even asked Todd to play some Polish pop songs for my family, which he downloaded in advance and played them at exactly the right time. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Todd for your next event!!! read more

There are not enough stars on yelp to describe Todd, he did an absolutely wonderful job being the DJ for our conference! When I sent him an email asking if he would be interesting in being our DJ he replied immediately (which I really appreciated) and moving forward was so easy to communicate with. When the day of the event arrived, Todd not only came early, but was completely set up before I even realized he was in the building. This kind of initiative is extremely appreciated (as I was running around like a headless chicken trying to make sure everything was going according to plan). Todd really understands the value in reading his audience. He managed to make over 100 people from age 22-62 dance the night away. The only complaint we had about Todd was that everyone was sad when the music stopped! He danced with us, he took requests, he even took our group photo. Thank you again Todd for making our conference a memorable one :) I will certainly be calling you next time we party in Chicago! read more

Let me just say if Yelp had an option to have 10 stars, I would be leaving a 10 star rating. DJ Todd from Dancetrax was a truly remarkable DJ. Todd was the master of ceremony and DJ at our wedding in downtown Chicago this November. My now wife's main concern was not having people on the dance floor dancing the night away having the best time of their lives. I received a reference from a family friend but was a bit skeptical because the reviews online were fairly old for Dancetrax. However, apparently people just had a wedding and didn't get around to leaving reviews. We gave Todd a list of 15 songs so that he would have a sense of our taste and style and he built a song list of similar songs around the selection we provided. The dance floor was packed throughout the night and didn't ever have a lull. He was able to read the crowd and adjust the song according to the current atmosphere and type of people on the dance floor whether they were older or younger. Todd has a knack for reading a crowd and was able to keep the energy high throughout the night. Let's just say my now wife was very very pleased with the level of energy and making the dance floor the focal point of our night. Thank you again for making our special day that much more special. I would highly recommend DJ Todd from Dancetrax to provide the music for your next event! read more

I'm going to preface this review by stating that I really wasn't too excited about having a DJ at my wedding... Todd Arcari of Dancetrax completely exceeded all expectations! He seemlessly took the reigns when the jazz trio had finished playing after dinner. From that moment the energy in the room never wavered. My groom, not exactly Mr. Twinkle Toes, did not leave the dance floor! I can honestly say that Todd had a big part in my perfect day! read more

Todd was incredible. He blew our expectations out of the water. We planned our wedding in less than 2wks due to a family illness. Todd was referred to us from where we were having our little reception. We called Todd on December 24, 2018 to see if he was available on December 29th,2018. Talk about accommodating, he was all for it. He helped us make our wedding smooth and very special to us considering the circumstances. We are forever grateful for him. He was personable, he cared, and wanted to help in anyway he could. We would highly recommend Todd to everyone and anyone looking for someone special that has the capability of getting everyone up on the dance floor. He knows how to read the crowd and was very attentive to all and any of our needs! We can't thank Todd enough for an incredible experience!! read more

Dancetrax and Todd Arcari are simply amazing and the absolute best. For my wedding the DJ was the most important consideration I had for all of our guests. A good DJ can can be the most memorable part of the reception fun and a bad one can ruin the party for everyone. So when it came to selecting our DJ I felt it was important to get it right. I have seen Dancetrax in action at a few work events and thought they did a quality job. After extensively researching wedding DJs I still thought it was worth reaching out to Dancetrax to see what they could do for our wedding reception. Todd Arcari immediately put me at ease and made me comfortable with his expertise. Not only do you get the music that you want but the perfect choices of songs you didn't even think of. He kept the party going at the right tempo at all times. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Our guests absolutely had a blast and we couldn't keep up with the compliments on the DJ. It is with our deepest gratitude that we write this review. We cannot thank you enough. Zach & Katie read more

Todd was excellent! He made our wedding super special, and was very professional. The music he played was perfect, and he ran the whole show, which was great, so we didn't have to...would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks, Todd! read more

Truly a wonderful experience. My wife and I didn't know much about Todd when we booked him, however, by the end of our big night we couldn't imagine any other DJ doing better. He was outgoing and extraordinary to our guests. Todd was accommodating to our desired music, and very pleasant in all business matters as well. I would recommend Todd to DJ any special event and be certain of satisfaction. read more

Todd did a great job of incorporating my requests and mixing up the music in order to keep people up on their feet dancing. Several people made positive comments about the music. He is very professional when dealing with him over the phone and in-person. read more

TODD IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! What bride does not leave the dancefloor for her entire wedding?! This bride, that's who, but only when Todd is spinning the tunes!! (seriously, I danced for over three hours straight and probably would have gone for three more, thanks to Todd) We intended on interviewing several DJs but we liked Todd so much after meeting him, that we decided to book him and we are so happy that we did! Todd was really easy to work with, he was always quick to respond, he gave us lots of materials to help us pick music and was totally cool when we went our own way for the key songs (first dance, etc). I told him we wanted a really really fun dance party without the cheesiness and he totally delivered. I saw a hideous video just today of some of my friends at the wedding that proves everyone was having a total BLAST. From the other quotes we got, Todd was among the best deals and he was just so great. Cannot recommend him enough. Need more proof? My mom was a mobile DJ and worked at nightclubs for over 20 years and she said Todd threw one of the best parties she had ever seen. My coordinator also said Todd was awesome to work with on the actual day. Book him quickly before someone else does! THANK YOU TODD!!!!! read more
