I used DJ-Chicago for my wedding recently. Since the initial call, the team was really great to work with. They were flexible with me when I needed to change my wedding date. A few weeks before the wedding, they scheduled a call with me to go over all of the details which helped make sure the day went smooth. Day of, everything was executed properly- even though the original DJ was out due to an emergency issue, Nick made sure to have a replacement ready to go. Highly recommend DJ-Chicago! read more

We had the pleasure of having Gil as our DJ for our wedding and it could not have gone better! Everyone was on the dance floor for the whole event until the last song played at 2am, we can't thank Gil enough for bringing his skill and personality to the dance floor! read more

I have had SEVERAL people reach out and ask about our DJ. Also, throughout the night, I couldn't keep track of the compliments. Chad went above and beyond for us and I cannot thank him enough!!!! Of all the weddings that I have been to this year, I have NEVER seen a dance floor so packed. There were moments that we had no room I give ALLLLLLL the credit to Chad and you all at DJ-Chicago!!!! Thank you so much for everything!! We will be hyping you up to everyone we know!!! read more

Phil was awesome! He met with us beforehand because he wanted to feel out the vibe we wanted for our wedding. We were able to make a list of "must play" songs. He had a great mix of music that even had grandmas & grandpas on the dance floor! And just really helped with the whole flow of the evening by keeping us on time! read more

We had a US Naval retirement party on the Chicago River and DJ Chicago delivered! Our guest said our DJ (DJ John) made the party. We gave just general guidance on song choice, and he read the party perfectly. Could not recommend these guys highly enough!!! read more

Nick and his team were amazing! I wanted a DJ who could keep the party going and read the room without me having to pick every song I wanted. Nick delivered that and so much more! He was so communicative leading up to our wedding and was so helpful the day of. He made sure we knew what was going on, who had the mic, and made sure we liked the vibes of the music. He let my husband and I request songs if we wanted to but I didn't even need to because I feel like he knew exactly what to play and our guests had the best time! We are so appreciative to Nick and his team for making our wedding what it was! read more

Nick from DJ Chicago was the DJ for our costumed Halloween wedding, and I seriously cannot speak highly enough of him. Our dance floor was as active for the entire night as I've seen at any wedding, and Nick was also very on the ball in regards to making sure the scheduled dances happened according to plan. A few weeks prior to the ceremony we had a zoom meeting where we told him what we were looking for, and no request was too specific or too vague for him; it was clear he'd be cool to do the entire thing on a playlist or to pick all the songs himself, and I really appreciated that. We ended up doing a split of the two, and all the songs that Nick picked fit in perfectly with the event, our selected songs, and our musical tastes. He also had no issue finding and playing a lot of obscure music that we requested, which I also appreciated. It's also worth noting that because of Covid we had to postpone the reception an entire year, and DJ-Chicago was totally cool about that and very responsive throughout. Use DJ-Chicago! We're sure glad we did! read more

Gil was amazing. He read the room perfectly and had impeccable timing. He played the perfect mix of classics, bangers, and our requested songs and played them at the perfect time. He was also super professional and MC'd the event without a hitch. Our wedding went perfectly thanks to Gil and DJ Chicago. read more

Talk about the best music ever!! Our wedding was on 9/23/22 and Nick was our DJ. From the first inquiry to the end of the wedding night, Nick was great at communication and so kind. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception introductions, to dinner classics, to first dances, to partying until the end of the night... WOW he killed it! Everything was so smooth and we received so many compliments after the wedding. The dance floor was packed the entire night. We highly recommend Nick! He is great at what he does and very professional. Thank you again, Nick!! read more

Stop what you're doing and book DJ-Chicago! Our wedding was a month ago and people are still talking about the music and dancing. Nick had everyone on the dance floor from the time it opened to the time the venue closed. Nick is an incredible DJ and also did an amazing job working with my planner to manage the flow of the night. This was the best decision we made. Do yourself a favor and book ASAP! read more

Nick did an awesome job as the DJ for our wedding! He helped us coordinate and made sure to check in with us before any major events during the wedding. We even got a handful of compliments from our guests on his music selection, and he kept the dance floor going until the very end. We didn't give him much direction on what type of music we were looking for, but he definitely had a good pulse on the crowd and catered to the group which was mostly late 20s and early 30s. DJ Chicago was also very responsive from the very beginning and made planning as easy as possible. read more

We got married in September and Nick from DJ-Chicago was our wedding DJ! He was INCREDIBLE. Not only did the dance floor keep going all night long - he did a fantastic job doing the music and announcements during the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He was very communicative when we reached out in the beginning and the weeks leading up to the wedding we talked on a zoom call to iron out all the details. He was very prepared and everything couldn't have gone more seamless! He and DJ-Chicago as a whole are incredible! read more

DJ Nick was awesome!! We met with Nick a month or so before our wedding to talk about the day and he was very kind and thorough. On our wedding day he would come and check in on us every so often and let us know what was coming next in the schedule. When we met with Nick a month before the wedding, we didn't give him a ton of direction on what music to play. Nick was able to curate a playlist that was so perfect that our guests asked if my wife and I had specifically given him a list of songs to play. Nick kept the dance floor going all night and a few of my relatives shirts were completely soaked from dancing from the first dance to the last song. DJ Nick is a perfect choice for your wedding, I cannot recommend him enough read more

Nick and Chris were awesome! We met with Nick two times to talk about the music and vibe we wanted for our wedding and he was so helpful and listened to everything we wanted. Chris was our DJ and he did a phenomenal job. He went with the flow the entire night and made sure that my husband and I were happy and enjoying ourselves. He even went above and beyond and stayed later than he was supposed to for an encore. Everyone commented on how perfect the music and energy was. Thanks DJ-Chicago!!! read more

DJ Chicago made our wedding a true party in every sense of the word. Nick was very helpful and responsive during the consultation. Chad was our DJ on the actual wedding day. He nailed down exactly what we wanted to hear-- from the must-play songs to the songs we knew everybody would dance to. I think at one point we had every single wedding guest on the dance floor. I have never been to a wedding where that many wedding guests actually danced, but DJ Chicago made it happen. Also we put 'no country" on our do not play list and when someone requested "Man I Feel Like a Woman", Chad found me and asked if that was OK! OK, Shania gets a pass! Only negative was the music was a little low for the cocktail hour-- but I think it was an acoustics problem in the venue we chose. Anyway, Chad and DJ Chicago rock and will make your wedding amazing, trust me! read more

DJ Chicago and Nick were absolutely incredible. We just got married in June 2023 and everything went so incredibly well. Nick understood our vibe from the jump and we are so grateful! We heard from multiple people that they "couldn't leave the dance floor because every song was too good". Would highly recommend and they will do everything from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the dance floor to fit your needs. Thanks again Nick! read more

My wedding was this past Saturday, and I'm still hearing people say how great the DJ was. Nick really made the party so much fun and kept people on the dance floor all night. I didn't want to go to the bathroom and miss more great songs! He was very easy to work with in planning, was organized, kept the flow for the night moving and really knew the tone for our group. We also rented uplights that looked great in the ballroom. Would 100% recommend, and if I'm ever in need of a DJ again, know who to go to! read more

Cannot recommend DJ Chicago enough! Nick and Gil (our DJ) were fantastic and helped make our wedding planning so easy amidst the chaos. The communication leading up to the wedding was especially supurb. Definitely recommend! read more

He is amaaazing! My friends and I heard him play at one of our post test parties in med school and we were like " we HAVE to get him for our med school prom!". This was back in 2007 and we worked with him for at least two years after that. I graduated and so I'm not sure if he is still the DJ at the event, but he had a great mix of music and was one of the few DJs I know, that have taken song requests before the event! You will not be disappointed! read more

Nick was the DJ for our wedding, and I have to say that he went above and beyond what we could have even imagined. My husband and I weren't too specific about songs we wanted, but Nick managed to capture our vibe as a couple perfectly. Since the wedding, we have had tons of compliments about the music. I would strongly recommend using DJ Chicago for any event. Every meeting and the event itself was extremely professional without being super uptight. Thanks for helping to make our night perfect, Nick! read more

We worked with Nick for our outdoor wedding reception. We had two consultations prior to our event, one to go over high-level details (equipment needed, type of venue, general playlist, etc.) and one closer to our event to lock in final details (wedding party introductions, toasts, first songs, etc). Nick walked us through the entire process and took care of ALL of the miscellaneous behind-the-scenes stuff with the venue. On our wedding day, Nick was all setup and ready to go well in advance of the start of our reception. He executed everything to perfection and went above and beyond in helping to keep the reception going when our venue dropped the ball on a couple of things. Nick did such a great job gauging the dance floor and keeping people engaged, it was jam packed the entire evening and every one of our guests was disappointed when our dance floor ended for the night. We provided a very basic guideline for the types of music we would like to be played and Nick created the perfect playlist that he wove seamlessly into our first dances and requests from our guests. This short review does not do Nick and DJ-Chicago the justice they deserve, I would recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ for their next event! read more

Nick was awesome to work with! Super responsive to all of my random questions, provided great suggestions, and was super communicative day-of our wedding when we had some minor changes to request. The dance floor was lit the whole night, our guests had a great time. I highly recommend working with Nick and hiring him for your wedding! read more

Just wanted to hank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for dealing with my daily updates these last few weeks as I went from 0 to 100 on the high maintenance scale. Jared our DJ was absolutely amazing. Walked into venue and started hearing some sweet sounds on the piano, I said to my bride "wow someone hired us a pianist." Nope that was Jared saw the empty piano and started playing for our guests as they arrived fir the ceremony. He hit it out of the park with his song selection and his last sec accommodation with our daughter singing on our first dance was the most special part of our wedding that we will remember forever. Thank you for making our wedding not a step less then perfect. read more

Good music was a top priority in wedding planning for us, and DJ Chicago knocked it out of the park. Our venue and planner told us to book Nick & his crew and said they were the best in Chicago. I'm so glad they were available! The entire process leading up to the wedding was smooth and easy. My now husband had for years been compiling a playlist for cocktail hour / dancing, and Nick & Jordan (who DJ'ed our wedding) were enthusiastic to put together playlists that fit our tastes and vibe. Jordan also read the energy and crowd well and added in some songs of his choosing that worked perfectly. Many friends told us our wedding had the best playlist and fullest dance floor they'd ever seen. Thank you Nick & Jordan for making our day so special! read more

DJ Chicago's Mark came highly recommended to us for our wedding and he more than met our expectations. From our first meeting with Mark he was able to grasp our taste in music very quickly. Even providing some great recommendations for songs we hadn't thought of. On the wedding day Mark found my wife and I during our reception to ensure we didn't miss a single song we had as must plays. We both truly appreciated his care for ensuring our big day was perfect. To top it off, many of our guests said they had never experienced a better wedding DJ. Mark was able to read the crowd and continue to deliver classic songs one and another. I would recommend DJ Chicago in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a wedding DJ in Chicago, you will not be disappointed! read more

Nick was an absolute blast! Throughout the entire process (song selection, Zoom calls, frantic emails) he went above and beyond to make our wedding special. Book with confidence, you won't be disappointed. Even the most obscure requests (We had a Zelda cake cutting noise, the Red Wedding song, and you know he is a true expert when he can incorporate Hakuna Matata into a wedding reception!) were handled with professionalism. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Fantastic every step of the way. read more

We had Nick DJ our wedding, and I am not even kidding when I say that I didn't leave the dance floor. He asked for genres that I wanted to have played at my wedding, and he picked the perfect songs that fit those very genres. So many of my guests asked who my DJ was and how amazing he was because they also had so much fun. He's also super responsive and so easy to work with. It made wedding planning that much easier! I highly recommend hiring Nick to DJ any of your events. It's totally worth it! read more

My new husband and I chose DJ Chicago to provide music at our July 2017 wedding. Nick was our DJ and he was great! He honored our "must-play" and "don't-play" requests, and was spot on with playing songs to keep the dance floor busy all night. My maid of honor (sister) even raved about how awesome he was as both a DJ and as a person, and we agree. Throughout the reception, Nick kept us updated on what to expect as the night progressed (cake cutting, first dance, speeches, etc.), and was so professional in his interactions with our guests. Nick, you are amazing! DJ-Chicago also was very reasonably priced (best price we found in the city!) and they don't have any hidden fees like many services do. They are straightforward with their price and provide exceptional DJ services. We added uplights for our reception and the extra cost for that was minimal. We would absolutely recommend DJ-Chicago (and Nick) to anyone looking to hire a DJ. read more

Wow. Nick was incredible. He was so fun to work with throughout the process and made the reception unforgettable. I have never seen so much dancing at a wedding, and every song was a lead up to the next amazing song. The energy grew all night because of his mad skill. I want to have another event just so I can hire Nick to come DJ. I will be recommending him forever to anyone getting married in the area. The night flew by, and Nick perfectly coordinated everything. I'm still in awe of how perfect everything was and how wonderful Nick is. I have so many moments that I could write about that give me goosebumps because of the songs and energy he pumped into the reception. Thank you doesn't cover it, but it is a start. THANKS, NICK! read more

What an amazing place to get your dance fix omg the music was just on point I didn't leave the dance floor once. Will definitely be back with more comfortable shoes so I can dance more ! read more

DJ-Chicago did our wedding this past weekend, and wow were they fabulous! Dylan was amazing and the communication with DJ-Chicago was impeccable throughout the planning process. We got tons of compliments from guests about music selections and his humor during announcments. He kept us on schedule (thank goodness!) and helped direct us where we were needed. Can't say enough great things!!!! read more

Honestly the best vendor we worked with for our wedding! Mark you did an amazing job! We are truly grateful for your excellent services! You went above and beyond our expectations! We got so many compliments on how people loved our DJ at our wedding! It was seamless to work with you! You were like our wedding planner! It was amazing!! read more

He Was our DJ last night at my son's wedding at Firehouse Chicago!! The dance floor stayed full until the last song. Amazing job. Like that they played the whole song until they went to something else. I can't stand when Djs start playing a song you love and they play the first verse and go to something else. The music never stopped snd we had sooo much fun. Thanks for a terrific night! read more

We got married back in March of 2023. 6-7 months prior we had our first phone call with them when looking for a DJ. It went very well and they answered all of our questions with detail. As the wedding got closer, we had zoom with Nick to go over the times of the wedding day (ceremony, wedding party entrance, cake cutting, dances, reception, etc). It was very thorough which made us more at ease with the stresses of a wedding. We had no worries regarding DJ Chicago leading up to the date. On the actual day, Nick crushed it. Everything was perfect. He was able to implement some songs we had requested beforehand and his music choices throughout the night kept everybody on their feet, no matter the age. It was a perfect mix. He had a super welcoming personality as well. Overall, when talking to our guests post wedding, the music was all they could talk about. You always remember the food and music and Nick crushed it. Highly recommend. Thank you for making our day perfect! read more

Great experience working with DJ Chicago. The team is very professional and experienced. We loved our wedding DJ, John! The playlist he curated was exactly what we wanted. We danced the whole night! read more

We had Nick as our Dj and being a Dj myself years ago, I can say that Nick was absolutely amazing to work with. He was incredibly professional, was always prompt with his communication with us throughout the exchanges leading up to the wedding, and was great the day of the event. He arrived early, was organized about all of the details we had discussed and had everyone dancing all night. We had requested quite a bit of Spanish music because my family is Cuban and he was great about having a good mix throughout the night. Our friends kept telling us the next day that the wedding music was amazing! They loved it and we loved it. These guys are great, so hire them for your next big event! read more

Chad did an amazing job dj-ing our wedding reception at Promontory Point! He read the crowd exceptionally well, adding in songs we hadn't thought of that were a huge hit with our guests. With announcements, introductions and other reminders to us, he was prompt, professional and very flexible! I was happy we had a chance to meet and talk with him beforehand, because he seemed like an old, and very experienced, friend leading us through the evening. Set-up and appearance were completely professional and he had great suggestions throughout the night to help with the flow of activities. I would definitely go with DJ Chicago for any future parties we might host and recommend Chad very highly! Thanks for helping to make our reception a special night for us! read more

We chose DJ-Chicago for our wedding this spring after our caterer and several vendors recommended it, and we could not have been more pleased with the experience. We met with Mark, the owner, a few months before our wedding and went through song preferences and our itinerary, and he provided us with many great suggestions and was very pleasant to work with. Gil was our actual DJ, and he captured almost exactly what we had planned with Mark. Gil was very accommodating the whole night - never missed a cue with the speeches, important songs, and timing. The sound quality and set-up was flawless, too. Overall, we very highly recommend DJ-Chicago if you're looking to go the DJ route for your wedding. They provide great services, for a very reasonable price. read more

DJ Chicago was great to work with for our wedding. We had Gil as our DJ and he was fantastic. He was very professional and friendly and kept us dancing the whole night. We got a lot of comments that the DJ was amazing. Nick, the General Manager, was also great to work with. He was organized and great with communication. We were so happy we had DJ Chicago at our wedding. read more

We hired DJ-Chicago for our wedding at the end of september and we couldn't have hoped for better. We actually contacted them less than 3 weeks before our wedding because our original DJ backed out less than a month before the wedding. We met with Mark and Alec and Alec was the one who DJ'd our reception. They were very prompt in responding to our request (plea) for services and were very open to working with us even with such a short time frame. They met with us several times and were very thorough with learning what our needs, wants, and dislikes were regarding our reception music. Alec was extremely professional while working as the DJ and the MC for the night. Everything flowed extremely well and he took the time to ensure nothing was overlooked. The dance floor was packed the whole night and our guests were raving about the music. Alec let the music do the talking for him. He was able to cater to guests of all ages and had a good mix of genres. I would highly recommend this company and Alec to anyone in need of DJ services. Extremely professional and easy to work with. If you are opposed to flashy outfits, props, and choreographed dancing, these are your guys. Very reasonably priced. side note: Our day-of-coordinator who has worked weddings with many of the big DJ companies in Chicago actually told us, "These guys were better than who you were going to have. It probably turned out for the best that your first DJ backed out" :) She mentioned that they have better sound systems, awesome playlists, appropriate placement of speakers (not on the ground), and obviously more professional employees who don't back out on contracts. I don't have a single negative comment to make regarding DJ Chicago and will recommend them to anyone in need of DJ services. read more
