Toast & Jam DJs specialize in making people dance by working closely with our clients to create customized playlists that reflect their tastes. We reject line dances, props, and other gimmicks in favor of perfectly planned and well-timed soundtracks that appeal to every partygoer. That means no Hokey Pokey and no Chicken Dance. At Toast & Jam, we believe that a thoughtful mix of pop favorites, hip-hop bootyshakers, Motown classics, and timeless standards are fun and self-respecting alternative to those embarrassing and played-out dancefloor clichés.

DJ Fredrick from Toast and Jam kept the dance floor bumping and flowing all night long. He was a great MC for all things and kept the party in line with our timeline. He went above and beyond ahead of the event to make sure the playlist fit perfectly for our wedding. He worked with us to add the Arab Wedding songs to keep all the aunties happy.

Drew from Crimson Events was our DJ for our wedding ceremony and reception. He did an absolutely phenomenal job! He worked with us beforehand to get a feel for us as a couple and what we wanted for our big day. He was very easy to work with both before and during the wedding. He kept our guests engaged and entertained. He was able to accurately read the room and tailor the music to keep everyone happy. When several guests requested karaoke (which was not discussed beforehand) he doublechecked that it was okay with us before moving forward. DJ’s at an event can definitely make or break an occasion. Drew definitely enhanced our wedding experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun DJ.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I knew from the very beginning of wedding planning that we wanted strings to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour - but there are so many options out there it was hard to decide who to book. We met with a few people in Chicago who could do the job and seemed decent. The moment we met with Anna, we knew she was the best person for the job. Anna is extremely friendly and professional. She helped us walk through the process of deciding what package would work best for our vision. It wasn't about steering us to the most expensive package, it was truly about getting to know what we wanted to get out of the day and picking the best option to make that happen. Anna is great with communication and worked well with our wedding coordinator. She and her team are SO talented. The music they played during our ceremony and cocktail hour really added to the vibe of the day and made it so special. If we could do it over again, we could choose Anna again and again. Thank you!

Funktastic Productions Llc. was an absolute hit at our wedding! From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, friendly, and super detailed - they clearly cared about making our day perfect. And that's exactly what they delivered. I chose to have live piano and violin at my ceremony and they sounded beautiful together. They played every song I requested with depth and precision- even the fairly new music (I requested Birds of a Feather for the recessional, and they NAILED it!) They provided mics to the musicians and the officiant stand, which ended up being a lifesaver for us. The DJ and violinist were both fun and talented, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. DJ Servaun in particular did an amazing job matching the vibes, emceeing, and balancing in the moment song requests with a killer playlist. Get the DJ with Musician accompaniment package!! The electric violin player lit up the dance floor & guests LOVED it! Quote: “Best wedding I’ve ever been to! I’ve never been to a wedding where ‘Not Like Us’ got a violin accompaniment”. I also used Funktastic for our photobooth service and it was one of the most popular parts of the wedding. People lined up at one point to take pics- and I was thrilled with the quality of the designs and service. Funktastic Productions provided incredible value and high quality entertainment that made our wedding celebration truly unforgettable. We can't recommend them enough!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

DJ Persist has been involved in the music industry since the age of 17 and has been doing what he loves for the past 18 years. He had held several nightclub residencies in the city of Chicago, an experience that enhances his performance at weddings. Today, DJ Persist has expanded his services to include A/V and Photo Booth services to become a well-known, award winning company. DJ Persist strives to give you the best in customer service by listening to your needs to provide for you an unforgettable event!

You NEED to go with DJ Persist for your wedding!!! We originally found him because we were hoping to find a bilingual DJ who could address our loved ones in both English and Spanish while knowing the fun Mexican wedding dance traditions. We had multiple interviews with DJs but he really stood out and made us feel like no one would be left out on the dance floor! We got the deluxe package which includes everything you need! The most important part was the music and he truly knocked it out of the park. He incorporated all the genres and songs we asked for while adding in songs that fit the vibe perfectly. He was able to create the perfect multicultural medley that fit us perfectly as a couple. It ranged from 2000s hits to cumbias to Marco Antonio Solís to Taylor Swift which may seem like a huge range but he did it all so seamlessly that everyone was having the best time. He did such a great job of keeping us on track that night and followed the timeline we gave him to a T! He also offers so many fun and cool add-ons. We got the Photo Booth add-on which our guests loved as they got to take something home with them. We also had a robot (who dressed up as a gorilla for a bit) and this was the highlight of the night!!! Seriously our guests have not stopped talking about it because it was so memorable and different :) He made everything so easy and seamless so that you just show up on wedding day and have fun! He also put together a picture slideshow of my husband and I which was such a sweet touch. His lighting set-up was amazing and worked perfectly with our venue. I honestly wish we would’ve gotten more add-ons so do it for yours because you won’t regret it! Jesse is truly a great guy with vibrant and professional energy that you will be so happy you went with him! 100000/10 recommend! Thank you DJ Persist!!!

We didn’t have to worry about a thing Clare had it all under control and kept the party going.

Hey! I'm Andres, the owner and DJ behind Mero Music. I was born and raised in Chicago with Colombian roots, so I bring a unique blend of cultural flair and big-city energy to every event. As a bilingual DJ (Spanish & English), I seamlessly bridge the gap between cultures through music, creating a dynamic atmosphere that speaks to everyone on the dance floor. Unlike larger companies, I handle everything personally—from initial consultations to wedding planning and being your DJ and MC on your special day. This ensures you receive dedicated attention and a tailored experience.

We had the best experience with Andres at our anniversary party! From the beginning, he was so professional, easy to communicate with, and really understood the vibe we wanted for the night. We booked him without much anticipation, but he made everything so easy and guided us through all we needed to know. Our biggest concern was having more than 130 guests of different ages and nationalities, but he read the dance floor perfectly and kept everyone dancing, seamlessly mixing Latin and American music! We know everyone had a great time because so many people complimented the music. He also provided the photo booth, which was a huge hit! We got to choose and customize the photo design and backdrop, and on the day of the event, the setup looked amazing. His assistant did a great job too, the photo quality was excellent, and everyone had so much fun taking pictures. Plus, he sent us all the digital versions afterward! If you’re looking for someone who brings energy, excellent organization skills, and amazing music to your event, Andres is the one! Highly recommend him for any celebration.

Established in 2000, DJ-Chicago has set the standard for the DJ industry in Chicago for the past 25 years. Since our inception, our number one priority has been simple, to meet or exceed our client’s expectations for their event entertainment.

As the groom I was responsible for the music. I interviewed several DJs and was impressed with DJ-Chicago. Nick, owner, was service oriented and was flexible with options. Nearing the wedding, Nick was focused on announcements and walk-in songs. At the reception, Nick was great at keeping the crowd dancing and sticking to our playlist options. With no reservations I'd refer friends and family to DJ-Chicago.

Considered a “Master of Genres”, he’ll make your big day a blast, regardless of your taste in music! A couple can expect a high-energy atmosphere for their wedding day! Not only will you feel the energy from DJ One Chance's fast-paced DJ style but his energy as an Emcee can be felt throughout your wedding day.

Just to preface - I take wedding dance floors extremely seriously. I think it is make or break for the reception. My fiancé and I were trying to keep costs as low as we could and had our eyes on a few other DJ’s that were within our price range and had been good at other weddings until I stumbled on DJ One Chance. I knew from the second I saw his Instagram that I needed to have him at our wedding. His energy, charisma, and ability to read the room is incredible. He was a bit out of our original price range (which was very low to begin with, keep in mind) and I can absolutely tell you that he is worth every single penny. Every planning meeting we had with him got us more and more excited to have him with us on the day of. He listened to the vibe and energy we were going for and could not have done a better job. My parents were blown away that for a bit of a tight dance floor and 200 guests, the dance floor was PACKED from 8:30 - Midnight. Some quotes we received from friends were “I haven’t danced that much at a wedding in a long time” - Rick, 59 years old and “Your DJ was insane. He knew which songs were hits with the crowd and kept the energy going” - MK, 30. He was a hit with every age group and we are forever indebted him for creating the dance floor of our dreams. I have never seen so many people compliment a wedding DJ or a dance floor so passionately. DJ One Chance worked with us seamlessly to make sure we were able to have the best day ever. He even let us request one more last song after the “last song” that we picked ourselves didn’t hit as hard as we wanted. If you want the best dance floor experience for your wedding - this is your guy. Could not recommend any more.
