Funk Almighty was hands down the highlight of our wedding! They brought the perfect vibe to our day. Everyone in the band is super talented and so kind - it was a pleasure working with them. Daryl was awesome and had great communication with us the entire process. All of the logistics were handled seamlessly - from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception, to after hours DJ. We appreciated that they traveled to Wisconsin for our wedding! It was truly a treat for us and our guests. We received so many compliments on how awesome our music was!

  • Starts at $2,850

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.

If you're looking for a DJ who goes above and beyond, Mike is your guy. From start to finish, he was the definition of professional. Responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making the day perfect. Communication was excellent throughout the entire planning process. Mike made sure to walk through the venue with us ahead of time so that every logistical detail was locked in well before the big day. He handled all the traditional wedding DJ responsibilities flawlessly, but he also embraced our more unique requests without hesitation. We asked him to play video game lo-fi music during cocktail hour and dinner, and he absolutely nailed it. We're also huge fans of metal and rock, and we were initially worried that might not translate well to a wedding dance floor. He was able to mix those songs in live and keep the energy high all night. It turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the reception, and honestly something we weren't sure we'd get to experience. On top of everything else, our guests couldn't stop complimenting his work. He kept the floor packed and the vibe exactly right from beginning to end. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and we recommend Mike without reservation.

We don't do cookie-cutter. We never have. What started as late nights of live funk on Chicago's club stages became a decade-long obsession with making every wedding feel like the best concert you've ever been to. Family-owned since 2014, we're a collection of Chicago's finest voices and players, and your night should sound like you — not the wedding down the street. No generic playlists. Every setlist is built from scratch. We scale from 6 to 15 pieces with ceremony strings, cocktail jazz, DJ hybrids, photo booths, and lighting, plus a music app that makes planning easy. Hundreds of weddings in, a full dance floor still gets us.

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 Vestus made our wedding reception feel like a party we never wanted to end. Although DJ Vestus did not attend our wedding he guided us through the entire consultation process and helped contract a DJ that would execute as flawlessly as he would. From our first conversation, Erick was quick to respond and easy to work with. Even during our check-in calls Erick brought energy and lightened the mood. On the big day, the setup was flawless and everything ran like clockwork. The photo booth was a huge hit with our guests, and the image quality was sharp and clear with props that had everyone laughing and having a blast. The dance floor was packed all night with the right mix of songs at the perfect volume. We'd hire DJ Vestus again in a heartbeat.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,500

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.

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.

You can stop your search right now, Todd is the DJ you need. After our initial call with him to packing up for the night, Todd did everything right and exceeded our expectations. He was incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and transparent about his services and pricing. Our wedding was a small, 50-person event with both indoor and outdoor spaces in River North and it included a terrace for the ceremony. Todd handled that perfectly, providing a seamless sound system for both areas, along with a mic/stand for our vows and an ear piece mic for the officiant. His setup was clean, organized and fit into the space beautifully. On the wedding day, we were running a bit flustered from photos when we arrived to the event space worried if everything was setup. We had not had a chance to meet Todd before the ceremony but once we arrived, Todd 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 about 25 songs, including some Albanian and Russian ones. He knew exactly when to play them, and our guests were on the dance floor until midnight and the night was never dull. Time flew by so fast we didn’t even use our phones all night long, we wish we had a few photos with Todd. 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 your guy. He provided a level of service we didn't even know we needed.

I've been a pianist my entire life and found I had an ear for DJing in 2000. Mixing and transitioning just seemed inherent and I enjoyed it. My love for music led me to start playing for small gatherings, non-profits and eventually larger events. Music was always in my life, so today I work professionally as a full-time Wedding & Events DJ, pianist and MC. I'm happy to be working with so many great clients, schools and companies. Fun Fact: I've written and produced original music for video games! I love what I do and it's always a good time! Let's discuss your event this week.

As a fellow wedding professional, I can confidently say that Grant is top-tier. He brings a level of professionalism, care, and attention to detail that truly elevates every event. From expertly curating the music to seamlessly incorporating live piano, his talent is unmatched. Beyond that, he’s the kind of vendor who goes above and beyond for everyone involved, making the entire experience smoother and more enjoyable. Any couple would be lucky to have him.

We were so impressed with DJ BVAX at our wedding! From the very first interaction, his communication style was extremely professional and prompt. The quality of his work and value was truly top-notch. Brian is a great human and accomplished audiophile - one of the small percentage of DJs who actually knows how to DJ. His vinyl spinning and smooth transitions were impeccable, and his laptop skills were equally impressive. Brian was able to read the room like a book and kept the energy exactly where it needed to be all day and into the night. We felt he was worth every dollar and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond to make their special day perfect.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.
