We had a great experience with Style Matters! Spencer at Style Matters introduced us to Ryan, to DJ at our wedding in Chicago and he did an excellent job. Ryan was prepared, professional, energetic, fun, and kept the good vibes going all night. We were pretty particular about the music we requested, and he honored our requests, while putting his own spin on the evening. He has a knack for knowing the right song to transition into at the right time. All of his song additions were well received, his segues were super smooth, and our friends can't stop raving about how much fun they had on the dance floor. Thank you, Style Matters and Ryan, for your passion and execution in making this the best night of our lives! read more

WARNING: Style Matters Failed to Deliver My experience with Style Matters was deeply disappointing and fell far short of their promises. The Promise vs. Reality After an extensive phone consultation with Spencer and completing a detailed questionnaire, I clearly communicated our vision for our wedding DJ. Spencer confidently assured me he had the perfect match for our event. Unfortunately, what we received was the complete opposite of what we requested. What we asked for: A highly skilled, charismatic DJ with creative mixing abilities and exceptional turntablist skills who could energize our celebration. What we got: A DJ (Margot/Diskokitty) who delivered a lackluster performance with below-average technical skills and zero enthusiasm as an MC. The Impact on Our Wedding Day The DJ's performance was so noticeably poor that multiple guests approached us asking, "What's wrong with the DJ? It's like she doesn't even want to be here." This was embarrassing and became a distraction on what should have been our perfect day. Honestly, I could have achieved the same result by pressing play on a Spotify playlist--and saved thousands of dollars in the process. Poor Communication and Planning Beyond the disappointing performance, Spencer's communication throughout the planning process was untimely and disorganized, creating unnecessary stress during an already demanding time. Broken Promises Style Matters markets themselves with bold claims: "25 of the most talented DJs this city has ever seen." -- They are not. "We will create a unique and incredibly enjoyable experience" -- They did not. "There's simply too much (music) out there to waste people's time on the stuff they've heard a million times before" -- We received exactly that: a generic, cookie-cutter wedding DJ set with zero creativity. Final Thoughts While we managed to salvage our celebration and create beautiful memories with our loved ones, the DJ performance was undeniably one of the lowest points of our special day. Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere for your wedding entertainment. read more

My husband and I were married in August 2024 and had a wedding celebration on New Year's Eve. Our goal for the NYE party was for everyone to dance and have a great time, and Max definitely made that happen. The dance floor was groovin' all night long... even with people who do not normally dance at parties. Max kept all age groups interested by playing a great variety of songs. Plus, he is extremely friendly and easy to work with. Thank you, Max - you're the best! read more

It is an absolute no-brainer to hire Style Matters. We were lucky to have DJ Max at our wedding and he was a huge hit. A true professional, he blended our musical interests with the vibe of our guests perfectly. He was super easy to work with and served as a great emcee with no corny jokes or anything. We made sure to add on the audio recording of the evening, which was such a great value-add. We never even thought of that as a possibility, and now we'll be able to replay the evening anytime we want. I appreciated Style Matters transparent and more than fair pricing, great communication, and, ultimately, DJ Max, who just absolutely killed it. Thank you!! read more

Our wedding was at Ovation (highly recommend) which meant we got to pick from a list of Style Matters DJs. Spencer sends a super thorough list of questions around the music you want to hear, the vibe you want and more which makes the pairing so simple and spot on. Spencer recommended two DJs and we picked Ryan, which phewwwww, you need to book this man immediately!! He is such a talented MC and DJ. He kept the energy up the entire night and had the most amazing playlist and mashups that kept our guests on the dance floor and so entertained and happy. He even let me hang out with him at the DJ booth. If you want a party, Ryan is the way to go! read more

We were paired with Style Matters DJs through our venue and I'm so grateful! Max was phenomenal and we had so many compliments about how fun the dance floor was. You could tell he had tons of experience, and made us feel heard during our call beforehand about what we were looking for. We appreciate him and Style Matters DJs so much for making it a night to remember! read more

We had such a great experience with Style Matters and DJ Duke! We highly recommend them! Spencer was very responsive with emails, super helpful with any questions we had, and went above and beyond to help us acquire equipment for the after party DJs (which was not something they had to help with). We are so grateful for that! He paired us up with DJ Duke, who we were already fans of and have seen his awesome sets all over Chicago! He was the perfect DJ for our wedding! DJ Duke totally got our vibe - we didn't want any traditional wedding music, wanted more indie electronic, lofi house, and new wave - he played the PERFECT songs for every moment of the wedding (ceremony, cocktail, dinner, and dancing). His transitions were seamless and he paired unique songs together. The dinner had such a dreamy vibe as we were watching the sunset outside paired with his music, it made our hearts smile.. When we met with DJ Duke a couple of weeks before the wedding to go over the questionnaire, likes, and dislikes - he asked very thorough questions and was very helpful with the timing of certain songs. The music was one of THE MOST important aspects of our wedding and DJ Duke/Style Matters did not disappoint - instead, I wish we could have talked less to people and danced even more because the music was so good! read more

We had an awesome experience working with John Simmons for our wedding! He met with us ahead of time and went over name pronunciations, timeline of the day, and the various requests we had for different songs fading in/out at different times throughout the wedding. He also NAILED our music requests - played all our favorite songs, honored our do-not-play requests, and kept our dance floor popping literally until our event end time at 1am. Spencer, the owner of Style Matters, is also incredibly great/easy to work with and is super responsive. Check Style Matters and John Simmons out if you're searching for a DJ for your next event! read more

Duke was wonderful at our wedding in October. He curated the perfect vibe for our ceremony, dinner and reception. He took so much time to get to know what my husband and I wanted. He was so fun and super chill to work with. We had the absolute best time. We would recommend Duke 10 times over! :) read more

We got matched up with Chris (DJ MassTransit) and he was WONDERFUL. We had a small intimate wedding, and he had everyone dancing through the very end of the night! Before the wedding, we did not have the time to think much about our wedding music. And, we weren't sure about the 'right type' of music to play, as our guests ranged a large age range and cultures. Chris really listened to our (very general) ideas, gave wonderful recommendations that inspired our final choices for the bridal processional and first dance. Then, he really just took everything from there! From the ceremony to the reception, he received multiple compliments from our guests throughout the day. The best part was that guests kept asking us if we had made the playlist (we didn't, just a few song requests)! Chris was also very responsive each time we sent an email, even embedding two late song requests the night before the wedding. He took care of everything end-to-end, as he had his entire sound system and worked with the venue to make sure all mics for the ceremony and speeches were well positioned. (Fun fact, Chris has an incredible radio voice; he will intro your speeches and intros like a pro!) I would recommend working with Style Matters as you know that you'll be well taken care of! read more

Our DJ for our wedding was through Style Matters and we had Ryan DJ our wedding. Ryan was great in all aspects from start to finish! He offered to hold a call with us to help get a better understanding of what music we were. While we were a bit nervous since we didn't get to talk to Ryan until 2 weeks prior to the event, everything was still smooth! We've been to quite a few weddings where the DJ wasn't playing great music and the dance floor was dead. We didn't want this to happen and we were concerned our DJ wouldn't play our music. But, this didn't happen!! Ryan was very accommodating and did everything we asked for. We had such a great time and we're so happy Ryan was able to make this day as special as we had imagined. Our guests are still talking about how great the music was and how so many people were dancing throughout the entire night. Highly recommend!! read more

Spencer, our DJ, was truly fantastic at our wedding. We had some ethnic components and he delivered in every way. The dance floor was packed the entire night! We also had Ernie by his side drumming, who was amazing, as well as String Theory for the ceremony. The whole crew was such a pleasure and so so talented. Thank you Spencer and Style Matters team! read more

One word... WOW. Scotty absolutely blew us away, and more importantly, had both us and our guests on the dance floor EVERY SECOND from dinner until closing time. We had our wedding on 9/12/21, so we put together our questionnaire early summer so Spencer could match us with our DJ about a month or so before the wedding. After reviewing what we were looking for, Spencer recommended two different DJ's and we did some digging before deciding that Scotty looked like the guy for us! From the first Zoom meeting, we knew we made the right choice. He just GOT us, and really understood what type of event we were looking to have. Music is so important to us, so having someone we meshed with so well was a huge plus. I don't even know where to begin for day-of; Scott hyped up the bridal party, took care of every timeline detail, played ALL of our favorites and songs we didn't even know we wanted to hear (but definitely did), and turned it into the biggest dance party we could have ever hoped for. I did not expect to spend so much of my wedding night on the dance floor but I know there is going to be a LOT of footage of me dancing and jumping around with my friends, and I cannot WAIT to see it. THANK YOU SCOTTY - you made our wedding! read more

After reading the reviews on Style Matters I figured this would be a great place to hire our DJ. Working with Spencer was fine in the beginning, but we weren't able to find out who he would pair us up with until right before the wedding, which was a slight concern of ours. We were able to watch a 5 hour showcase of all their DJs about a month before our wedding, but I was very concerned because I didn't feel that any would be the right fit. However, I decided that Margot was the best choice based on that showcase. I liked her music and she even played one of my favorite hip hop songs from the 90's. We met with Margot about 2-weeks before our wedding to review our completed questionnaire laying out all of our "must plays" "likes" and "do not plays". We discussed the vibe that we were going for, and the type of crowd that would be attending. My description specifically said that I want it to feel like a Miami club as we get deeper into the reception (going to 1:00 AM). Margot assured us that she had a clear understanding of the music that we wanted to hear. The music is such an important part for us and I wanted to make sure that our guests were jamming all night on the dance floor. I know what my family likes to hear to get them dancing, but we didn't quite get there. I feel that she struggled to get people on the dance floor early on. Looking back now, maybe we shouldn't have allowed requests. Maybe it's my fault for expecting a club DJ, when we hired a wedding DJ. Overall she did a good job and I appreciate that she played a lot of Prince (since I'm the biggest fan), but it really bummed me out to hear our guests telling me about ways the music could have been better. I wished that we would have been introduced to our DJ much earlier in the process so that we had more time to fine tune the playlist. I would have vetoed many of the songs that were played. (i.e. "Footloose", "Shut Up and Dance With Me", Maroon 5). Overall I wished the music selection would have been better into the night so that we got that Miami club vibe that I was hoping for. It felt more like wedding music than club music. read more

Cannot tell you how great Spencer was to work with, in finding the right DJ and vibe for our party. DJ Max then brought everything energy-wise to our party we hoped for. He was kind, professional, and made the party run so smoothly. It was two days ago and people continue to comment on the music being the best they've ever experienced at a party and wondering who the DJ was. read more

Style Matters is a wonderful group of DJs. We had Duke deejay our wedding and he is the absolute man! He absolutely killed it on our wedding day, but that started weeks prior when he first met us. He started by getting a sense of who we are and our vibe. Using that, his intuition, and our questionnaire, he presented an initial proposal that was spot on. He worked with our wide ranging song requests to cultivate a seamless dance floor experience; he also read the crowd really well and adjusted accordingly. From an emcee perspective, his timing was impeccable; he took our incorporation of certain movie themes and incorporated it masterfully throughout the evening. He even accommodated a song change for our grand entrance at the last minute and timed it perfectly with our walk to our sweetheart table. All in all, he exceeded any and every expectation we had. Duke is a phenomenal person and is the type of individual that you want guiding the evening and cultivating the vibes along the way. read more

Style Matters was super easy to work with, they were so laid back and it felt like they didn't need much from us to do their job, but they still did everything very well! We got matched with Duke about a month before our wedding. We had a call with him to go over what songs we did and didn't want to hear at our wedding and also what we wanted out of our wedding as a whole, which was to have people out on the dance floor all night! He did a great job taking what we said and then running with it. In addition to the music on the dance floor, he made sure to know exactly what music we wanted during the ceremony and during cocktail hour and dinner. Whenever we had places where we didn't know exactly how to phrase what we wanted, he was able to help us flesh out exactly what we meant. He even did a fantastic job of learning the particular style of music we wanted for the dance lesson we had so that it would go smoothly. Overall, we could not have been happier with how the evening turned out and the soundtrack to our wedding! read more

Chris and Spencer at Style Matters were amazing to work with! They took our music style and curated the best dance floor ever!! It was always full and people are still talking about how it was the best dance floor they have ever seen! 11/10 would recommend if you want your dance floor to be electric! read more

My wife and I had the best experience with Style Matters. Spencer is the most communicative person we came across in our wedding planning. That man can answer an email in ten seconds flat. The process of getting paired with a DJ felt extremely personal as well. It felt like Spencer really took our thoughts and preferences into consideration. Chris, our DJ, was incredible. He played all the things we wanted to hear, curated the evening perfectly and really killed it with the last song. His ability to read the room is obvious. He's a pro. Our guests were on the dance floor all night. I'd recommend Style Matters to anyone asks. Thanks again to Spencer and Chris for helping us create a memory we'll have forever. read more

Chris at Style Matters was our Dj for our wedding. He did an amazing job from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. He was super easy to work with, very responsive, and accommodating. He did a great job taking our reception music "likes" and creating a fun party where everyone at every age was dancing. Would HIGHLY recommend. read more

Margot was a fantastic DJ for our wedding at the University Club in Chicago. We had a destination wedding so the planning was a challenge. Style Matters made it so easy and effortless to plan the amazing celebration. Thank you to Spencer and Margot for a great event. I highly recommend Style Matters! read more

Margot at Style Matters was such a phenomenal DJ for our wedding. We had a chance to meet her before and discuss what kind of party we were looking for and she knocked it out of the park! Margot kept the party going and our dance floor was packed the entire time. She made our wedding so memorable and fun. Spencer, the owner, was also a huge help in getting us settled and paired with the right DJ and he picked an incredible DJ with Margot. Thanks for such an energetic and fun party and a huge shout-out to Margot and Spencer at Style Matters. Pick them for your wedding; you won't be disappointed! read more

We worked with DJ Duke through Style Matters for our wedding. He was very personable and took the time to get to know us and our musical tastes prior to the wedding. The event ran very smoothly and the dance floor stayed crowded all night. Duke really listened to our suggestions/preferences and found the best way to put everything into a cohesive set that was approachable for everyone. We got so many compliments on the music! Duke provided us with a full setlist afterwards so we could relive the magical evening. Couldn't be happier - highly recommend! read more

We were getting married at Ovation and had a number of DJs to choose from as part of our package there. We filled out a survey a few weeks before our big day, and Spencer had given us two suggestions that would be a good fit. We picked and met up with Dustin the week of our wedding and had a great meeting with him. He absolutely listened to all of our requests, and from what I can remember the night of our wedding, executed everything perfectly. Everybody had a great time and I want to thank Dustin again for doing such a wonderful job!! read more

Style Matters - DJ Dustin Harris @ #YapHarvey Wedding; Ben Easter Photography - DJs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Style Matters went above and beyond our wedding entertainment expectations.... From the first interaction we had with this company, we fell in love. Spencer, the owner, set up a meeting with us to get to know who we are as a couple, go through important elements of the evening, and lots more. He was super helpful in giving suggestions and overall feedback from other weddings so that we were sure to be making our guests' night a blast. My approach to selecting wedding vendors was simple, I did my research and got all of the relevant information to the vendor for my wedding, and from there, I let them do their thing. I feel that these companies are so very talented and at the end of the day, they are in business for a reason! Especially those that have these incredible reviews... I genuinely felt that it would be silly to choose vendors that were known for being the best of the best if I was not planning to let them do what they do best in the end. Style Matters did just that - once we were matched with our AMAZING DJ, Dustin Harris, we got together and went through more of the details that had been planned for our wedding and from there Dustin took care of everything. I had never been in a wedding before and basically planned my entire event, so this was incredibly helpful. Dustin helped me chose my ceremony processional music and customized a version that was perfect for our wedding party to walk down the aisle to. He also customized a version of the song that I (the bride) walked down the aisle to and we could not have been happier with the results. This company made wedding planning easier, if that is even possible. Especially when things were down to the wire and I needed extremely fast turnaround times, they took care of everything. To make things even better, the day of the event obviously came with a few unexpected things that were not "on the menu" for our DJ but nonetheless he took care of everything and the bride never even knew there was a single hiccup. IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT USING STYLE MATTERS, THINK NO MORE. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!! The night of the wedding was flawless, Dustin did what he does best, and he had people dancing well after the wedding ended. Not only does he have an impressive musical history, but he humbly uses his talent and skills to make sure that your entertainment is flawless. I can't say enough about how wonderful this company was to work with, and I will definitely be using them in the future. read more

Style Matters - DJ Dustin Harris rocking our wedding night - DJs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you care about a fantastic experience and amazing music that is steps above typical wedding music, you must book Style Matters immediately. They are true DJs who spin in clubs and know how to create amazing set lists using suggestions you provide. They are clearly music people but are not pretentious at all. And their price, in our opinion, was totally reasonable for the quality and service you receive. You and your guests will not be disappointed. We hired Style Matters for our Dec. 20, 2013 wedding at the Newberry Library and were lucky to have Dustin Harris as our DJ. From beginning to end, it is clear Style Matters cares very much about a tasteful music experience and knows what they are doing to ensure you will have a seamless night from a logistics standpoint. Like many people who have posted here, our experience from beginning to end was nothing short of exceptional. Spencer responded to our inquiry almost immediately and invited us to his place to discuss our musical tastes, expectations and get a sense of what we were looking for. We were convinced immediately and hired SM on the spot. Spencer was responsive and helpful through the contract execution process and could not be nicer. As the wedding date drew closer Spencer suggested Dustin as our DJ, and we met with Dustin about a week before the wedding. Before we met, Dustin sent us a list of detailed questions, which made us (1) realize he knows what he is talking about and (2) appreciate his attention to detail. He met with us to go over our set lists and expectations and timeline, and was super enthusiastic and nice. Now to the day of--everything was perfect from start to finish. From the moment Dustin played our recessional song to the cocktail hour in the lobby to the wedding party announcements to dinner hour to the dancing, everything was perfect. Even small details like his perfectly stylish ensemble and awesome white shoes to having a list if the songs we have him readily available, fit the night perfectly. I can't count the number of times people complimented our music or said they hadn't danced in years but couldn't help themselves. We heard the songs we requested with awesome twists to them, and Dustin kept the party going all the way until the end. People did not want to stop dancing! We knew we wanted to thank them and make sure others can enjoy the experience we did. We highly recommend Style Matters! read more

-Updated Review- Now that the wedding has passed, guests have gone home, and I am relaxing on my honeymoon, as promised I owe Style Matters a updated review. Unfortunately, I am having troubles putting into words how outstanding Style Matters actually is. Spencer (our DJ and the owner) did an absolutely amazing job, the dance floor was never empty, he had everyone out there dancing their tail off from 8:00 - 11:00 when the venue raised the lights and kicked us out. Every one of my guests complimented us on getting married AND how awesome the DJ was. Some of my guests even wanted pictures with Spencer! Not only did he play great music, but he did a great job at controlling the flow of events during the entire night and really had control of the crowd, which allowed me and my bride to do what we needed to do. We also hired Style Matters string trio to play at our ceremony as well, during the ceremony they did an outstanding job, especially considering the wedding actually started about 20minutes late due to the lovely Chicago traffic. Even with this delay, they played on and kept the crowd entertained. Not only are they great at their craft, they are all very professional and really likeable guys. If you are looking for a string trio for your wedding, or probably any other type of event, these are your go-to guys. I could babble on here for hours as to how great Style Matters was, but if I had to pick one word to sum it up, it would be "WOW!" Great job Spencer, you run on heck of a company and are the definition of what a 5 star company should be. ------------------------------------------------------------ My fiance Katy and I are using Style Matters to DJ our wedding this fall. We have been working with Spencer Lokken and so far we have been impressed with his level of service and dedication to making our special day the best it can be. What I liked most about his DJ services is that he and his DJ's don't play the normal Hokey Pokey, Electric Slide, and any other cheesy song you could think of (unless your guests really want to hear it). Even if he has to play one of the songs listed above, Spencer and his crew will mix it up so everyone will love it. I'll update this review later this year after I see Spencer perform first hand, but I don't have any doubt that the music will be spectacular. read more

It's been a little over a week since our wedding and I still don't have my voice back. I think I left it out on the dance floor at Ovation. I lost it because I was screaming with joy the entire night and I have not shut up about how much fun I had since then. Esteban burned down the house and created a giant party on the dance floor. He brought the FUNK. We met over zoom to discuss the questionnaire and immediately jived. Total A+ human. He put out the right vibe for our event and by the end of it all I felt like I had made a new friend! Spencer definitely came through on the recommendation. Thanks dudes! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Style Matters and our incredible deejay, Ryan. There is a reason Style Matters is known as the best in the business...everyone is so professional, helpful, and most importantly amazing at their job. We first saw Ryan at a friend's wedding and knew right then and there we NEEDED him to deejay our wedding. We were going back and forth between a band/deejay - but once we saw Ryan in action, there was no second guessing that he was the man we needed. Ryan kept the party going and each song was better than the next. From our 90-year-old grandparents to our friends - the dance floor was alive the entire night. People were coming up to my husband and I asking if they could "buy the soundtrack of our wedding" because it was incredible! My best memories of my wedding night were on the dance floor - Ryan truly brought the party! I only wish I had another event that he could deejay for! Every time we are at an event, my husband and I always say, "This would be so much better if Ryan was deejaying.". From start to finish - working with Style Matters was OUR pleasure. Spencer was so awesome to talk with and quickly responded when we had any questions, String Theory was beautiful - and even learned a song last minute that we wanted to walk out to, and Ryan was simply the best. I would recommend Style Matters to EVERYONE - they were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! read more

Couldn't recommend Spencer and Style Matters DJs more to anyone in the Chicago land area, specifically for weddings! Spencer put on an incredible show at our recent wedding, and got rave reviews from everyone that attended! read more

Ryan was our DJ for our August wedding and did a wonderful job with a large (175 guests) wedding in a room with tricky acoustics. He kept people on the dance floor all night and was professional and straightforward in his emceeing - no cheesy gimmicks here! He was really responsive and aside from one video meeting to talk through our music questionnaire, didn't need much else from us. While the Style Matters team is filled with professional, non-cheesy and great DJs, I think it's worth mentioning that communication was a little uneven with Spencer and that the process of pairing you up with a DJ after you fill in a detailed questionnaire, closer to your event date, was a little nervewracking for us. Ryan was assigned a few weeks ahead of the wedding so it felt like we had a big to-do even as other items had wrapped up. However, if you're willing to be patient and a little persistent on that, their detailed questionnaire really guides you through thinking about your event and music and Spencer is able to pair you with someone who will do a great job! read more

Everyone should book Style Matters DJs for their event! Our DJ, Scott (@djscottytee), was absolutely AMAZING and knocked it out of the park with the music. We have gotten SO many compliments on how amazing he was. Scott was friendly, professional, personable, used GREAT judgment on what to play and when to move onto a new song, he was super high energy, and just did a great job feeling the crowd. The dance floor was full all night and so many people said it was the best wedding dance floor they've ever been on. Spencer was the go-to guy regarding booking and payment - he was extremely responsive and also so professional. This company was easily one of the most professional companies I dealt with while planning our wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend booking Style Matters DJs to anyone - if I could give more than 5 stars I would. read more

From day 1 of wedding planning (even before the planning), we knew we wanted to go with Style Matters to DJ our wedding. We've had some pretty memorable nights on the dance floor and Spencer behind the decks. From the first meeting we had with Spencer, we were 100% confident in our decision. While Spencer was already booked for the date (tear), he knew the style we liked and chose DUKE to be our guy! We kicked it off with a meet and greet at our local bar and spent time describing our audio interests & vision for the wedding. Duke listened to what we had to say and was able to provide plenty of insight and suggestions for filling in the missing details. His professionalism and abundant knowledge of various music scenes made it extremely easy to collaborate and place our trust in him for the big day. Duke handled the ceremony & cocktail hour flawlessly and In the end, led a non-stop dance party from start to finish. Highly recommend Style Matters if you're looking a group that can deliver on their process to keep that dance floor poppin! read more

My husband and I are so incredibly grateful to the Ovation team for making our wedding on March 31, 2018 the absolute best day possible! Really. It was the most incredible and so much of that had to do with Spencer, Brian, and especially Dustin, our DJ! Dustin was such a dream to work with...we loved getting to hang out before our wedding and talk about music for our big day. He made us feel really comfortable and confident that he would make sure our wedding was flawless. From our ceremony music all the way until the end of the night, it was perfection. He kept our guests on the dance floor literally the entire night! We couldn't keep people away because his song selections were magic. Every. Single. Time. We loved him as our song curator! Bottom line: book Dustin as your DJ. Now. He won't disappoint! read more

Had such a wonderful time at my friend's wedding! Margot went above and beyond all of expectations. Here I thought this was going to be another lame wedding dj or she wouldn't know any of her stuff. However, it felt like we were at a club in Ibiza! I highly recommend Style Matters read more

Our night with Style Matters? Epic dance party and really the most amazing night of our lives. There's really only one person you should talk to when you're looking for a DJ and that's Spencer and his crew. Immediately after meeting Spencer I knew that we had found exactly what we were looking for. He knows what he's doing and wants to make sure that he gets your night done perfectly. This was a huge decision for my husband Drew as he is a music aficionado and DJ himself and we absolutely made the best choice. Spencer makes sure to meet with you several times to make sure that he can match up your personalities with his talented arsenal of DJs. For us, Spencer was a perfect fit. From the sound/music for outdoor ceremony to the music for the reception, he was nothing short of incredible. My husband and I stayed on the dance floor the ENTIRE night and we weren't alone. Our dance floor became our receiving line, everyone from our wedding met us out there. From the first song until the very last, our wedding was a complete jam. We received SO MANY compliments on the music and we couldn't thank Spencer enough. He doesn't just play music - he created memories and moments for us that we, our family and friends will never forget. Spencer, thanks for laying down the soundtrack to an unforgettable night. Check out the pictures we uploaded and this awesome video of our last song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qoVDBLolYE Net net, Style Matter is the best. Simply the best. Wedding, 9/2/11 read more

Having a packed dance floor was a huge priority for our wedding! And DJ Andrew Pascale DELIVERED!!! First of all, he is just incredibly talented. We didn't provide him a list of songs to play during the early part of the dancing because we trusted his expertise to find music suitable for a crowd ages 16 - 80, and he did a great job mixing in old music with the new. The dance floor was full the entire night and several people came up to us and said how amazing the DJ set list was (even the dinner music!!). Our photographer said it was one of the best dance floors he's ever seen! Not only is he talented but he is extremely organized, professional and down to earth/easy to work with. During our meeting with him, he walked through all our preferences, practiced each name in our bridal party and also had positive feedback about our music style as well as things to think about ie. the lack of "early in the evening music" listed on our music preference questionnaire. This is 100% what you want in a wedding vendor/partner - someone who will help you think through all aspects of the evening. He reminded us to identify a place to gather for bridal party introductions and also kept the entire evening running very smoothly. THANK YOU Andrew!! We were lucky to have you as part of our day! And of course had to get a pic with our awesome DJ at the end of the evening! read more

Style Matters - DJs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Style Matters is the best!! We used them for our outdoor wedding at Heritage Prairie Farm and could not have been more pleased with everything during the process: the communication was excellent, from initial contact to day before the wedding, everyone was extremely professional, and most importantly, the music and resulting dance party were AMAZING. I spent not a moment of the planning/pre-wedding phase stressing about the music because of how great these guys are. Below is the email we sent our DJ, Max, the day after our wedding, which pretty much sums up just how awesome Style Matters is!: Hi Max, Just wanted to give you one more thank you for Sunday now that it's the light of day. We had an amazing, amazing time at the wedding and that was largely in part to the dance party that you kept going the entire night. All the talk at brunch on Monday morning from our family and friends centered on how great the music was and how much fun everyone had dancing...in fact, it sounds like many people (us included) minimized their hangovers due to having limited time to refill drinks due to not wanting to leave the dance floor!! My dad also told me that he was trying the whole night to congratulate my classmates that had just graduated from med school and was like, "I finally just had to go out onto the dance floor and yell my congratulations at them because they never stepped away!" I know many brides have spent years dreaming of their weddings, but truly the only dreaming/scheming/planning I'd done prior to my engagement was envisioning the music at my wedding. The real thing Sunday not only matched that, but far exceeded it--thank you so much for making this happen. Can't say it enough--highly recommend Style Matters and DJ Max! read more

Style Matters - dance party thanks to style matters! - DJs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is hands down the best DJ company you will find in Chicago! We initially communicated with Spencer who is so easy to work with. He will answer your emails within seconds. I emailed him on a Sunday night and was not expecting to hear back until Monday, but a minute later we had a response, and this type of service continued throughout the planning process. I also emailed Toast & Jam initially but I didn't end up hearing back from them for an entire week, which is not what you want when wedding planning. Margot was our DJ for our wedding in December, and she was just awesome. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music. The dance floor was busy the entire night and she totally nailed the type of music we wanted to hear. We had a meeting with her a week before the wedding where she gauged our music interests. My husband told her not to play anything you would hear at a Cubs game intermission, and she thought that was great. Also we danced the hora but we didn't want it to go on forever, so she suggested that we would give her a signal when we were ready for it to end so we kept it short and sweet. She was also helpful when it came time for the speeches because she would let the speakers know a few minutes beforehand so they could mentally prepare. The music is what will make your party amazing and Style Matters will make this happen! read more
