Matt Klich and our wonderful DJ, Emilio Isasi, were absolutely wonderful and easy to work with. Leading up to the day, communication was top tier and streamlined in a way that made us very comfortable that the whole team, as well as ourselves, new exactly what was going on down to the fine details. The day of, everything was set up and ready to go right on time (we also did uplighting and a photo booth through Encore!) and the music was pumping. Emilio frequently checked in on us throughout the event and made sure we were ready to go for each part of our schedule. He also was able to read the crowd and played the perfect music to fit the mood while also incorporating both our requests and the crowd's requests. We can't recommend Clik Entertainment (and especially Emilio!) enough!

As I wedding photographer I have had the pleasure of working with Premier Entertainment, run by the dynamic duo Darrin and Cheryl Lee, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Having known Darrin for over 10 years and collaborating with him on several occasions, I’ve always been impressed by his professionalism and passion for creating unforgettable events. Darrin’s expertise on the dance floor is unmatched. He utilizes a wide range of top-notch DJ equipment that really elevates the atmosphere. Whether it’s pumping up the energy during a wedding reception or creating the perfect vibe for a corporate event, he knows how to read the crowd and keep everyone engaged. Cheryl complements Darrin perfectly by ensuring that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

One standout feature of Premier Entertainment is their innovative photobooth options. They add a fun, interactive element that guests absolutely love, capturing memories in a unique way. What truly sets them apart, though, is their exceptional pre-event timeline creation. It’s far superior to anything I’ve seen, providing a clear roadmap for the event and ensuring that everything unfolds seamlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Daniel exceeded every expectation. Daniel was extremely organized and followed up immediately after every meeting, which gave us so much confidence throughout the planning process. As an interracial couple blending of our cultures was important to us and having a bilingual DJ and MC was a non negotiable. Daniel was the perfect fit. He was very fairly priced and offered everything we were looking for, including CO2 guns, a Photobooth with an attendant, and the ability to personalize the Photobooth experience for our guests — all of which ran incredibly smoothly. It was helpful to have all of these things through one single vendor rather than multiple people to coordinate. What truly set him apart was how intentional and thoughtful he was with our music. He helped us create a detailed plan that included songs we loved, songs we didn’t want played, and the exact timing for everything. Most importantly, he seamlessly blended both of our cultures throughout the night in a way that felt natural and effortless. Our dance floor was full the entire night. He also communicated directly with our wedding planners to ensure the timeline was perfect, which allowed the day to flow without a single hiccup. If you are looking for a DJ who is organized, professional, culturally aware, and knows how to keep the party going all night long, we could not recommend him more!!

Toast and Jam DJs 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,850
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

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.

Chris rocked our worlds!!! DJs can make or break a wedding, so going into planning we were pretty nervous about this decision. Our Coordinator recommended Toast & Jam and boy are we glad she did. From our first meeting with Chris we knew we were in good hands. He was able to effortlessly blend our wildly eclectic music tastes and hyper-specific cultural songs without batting an eye. He also smoothly MC'd the whole night. At least 50 of our guests have told us that he was the best wedding DJ they've ever had, so we know we are not biased!! His ability to read a crowd is unreal. The photobooth was also a huge hit. If you're considering it, DO IT, it was a perfect keepsake for guests. We cannot recommend highly enough Chris and Toast & Jam, our wedding was a certified banger.

I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.

From the planning stages through the big day, she was super helpful in shaping the flow of music—guiding us on which songs would work best for dinner, dancing, and cocktail hour, and making sure all our favorite tracks were played. She even filled in the gaps with songs that matched our vibe perfectly, which kept the energy just right throughout the night. Norah was also incredibly organized and helped keep everything running smoothly. Especially when it came to toasts and speeches. The maid of honor even commented on how much she appreciated Norah giving her a heads-up and keeping her informed on timing. We can’t thank Norah enough for helping make our night so memorable and fun!

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!

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.

DJ Adrian Esparza was fantastic to work with for our wedding. He was very communicative and helpful throughout the entire planning process, and was more than happy to accommodate us when we had to switch things up last minute. Adrian was awesome and truly contributed to making our day the best it could be. He kept the dance floor packed all night long and our guests raved about the awesome music selection. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to help make our wedding celebration so memorable.

Let me start out by saying that I love DJ Firm with all my heart and soul. I truly have a passion for this company and making every event special in its own way. I was influenced by DJ culture early and my dad gave me opportunities to mix records at the early age of 8. I played my first party when I was 13 at a middle school called Heaven in Evanston, IL. My goal, along with my values is to always ensure that The DJ Firm provides the best talent and service an entertainment company has to offer. We have a great group of individuals and I can wait for you to meet them and me. Let’s connect.

Working with The DJ Firm for our wedding was incredible. From the start, we were taken care of with top notch service from Ruben and Sarah. They kept everything moving and confirmed all the details leading up to the big day. For the wedding day, DJ Swiss Kid was AMAZING! He was very professional and read the room so well. We got so many compliments about our DJ from guests. We also loved being able to work with the DJ Firm for up-lights and photo booth (as a take home favor). A one stop shop for wedding entertainment! Highly recommend the DJ Firm!!

Our dance floor was never empty!!! Dj Wrek, Jason from Turntable manners was amazing! the whole process of planning our wedding reception with him as so easy and simple. The reception ran so smoothly because Jason was on the ball and once the dance floor was open it wasnt empty, he read the room, knew when to change to the next song and what was needed to keep it pumping. He also listened to our specific request for songs we had as must plays and the final song of the night was perfect and a core memory for us. We have gotten so many compliments about how great our wedding DJ was and how great the dancing was.

We hired Sorry For Partying as the band for our wedding reception and they were fantastic! Their communication throughout the planning process was excellent - they were honest about what they could and couldn't do, flexible when we had to make minor changes, and thoughtful in making sure they really understood the vibe we were going for. The quality and value of their work was truly impressive. They kept guests of all ages dancing nonstop for the entire 3 hour set, seamlessly transitioning between genres and decades. We received so many compliments on the song selection and the incredible vocals.
