“Where can I even begin? Alex wasn’t just our dj, he pretty much helped us create a timeline for our entire day. He was our host, support system and truly helped us throw the best celebration. Our guests LOVED him they are still talking about how awesome our DJ was. For months, we jumped on calls to perfect the experience we wanted and Alex was so incredibly supportive the entire time. A week before our wedding we had to change our wedding and he was one of the first people we called. Within minutes he had lists of places to call. When we figured out a new venue he did everything he could to become familiar with the new space and the owner. We arrived to the reception with our vendors all knowing eachother like they were friends all along - it was so unified like one family coming together. Alex was the glue that made our event as magical as it was. There truly isn’t anyone like him we are forever grateful.”

I love what I do. I have been singing since age 8 and DJing since 15. I found a way to combine the best parts of music for an amazing wedding experience! People are wowed at the elegance of live music during cocktails as a first impression. Then they are treated to their favorite songs on the dance floor with me as the dj! It’s a perfect balance!

“Karl Knutson's Band Or Dj? Get Both! was exactly what we needed for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Karl was clear about what he could offer and flexible when we needed to adjust our plans. During cocktail hour, his singing was a standout moment—our guests couldn't stop talking about how talented he is. He kept the energy high throughout the night while also helping our speeches flow naturally without any awkward transitions. Karl's combination of live vocals and DJ skills meant we didn't have to hire two separate people, and honestly, the value was unbeatable. We'd recommend him to any couple looking to get the best of both worlds.”

“Having a violinist for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was one of the best decisions that we made, and Sweet Harmony made it SO easy. They were communicative, professional, and had a platform that made choosing songs and getting organized a breeze. It was affordable as far as wedding add-ons goes and classed up the wedding, our guests were all excited and impressed. Our violinist was incredibly talented and added an incredible flair. We chose a hip hop theme he nailed it (classy but also super fun and energetic). My only regret is that we were so busy that we didn't get to stop and truly appreciate it as much as we should have.

While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements.

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.”

It genuinely felt like we were at a club with all of our closest friends and family, and the dance floor was packed all night. And the light-up dance floor!!!

In addition to that, his wife, put in 100% effort to record the dance floor fun and took short clips that we also received and those are priceless. The DJ also had a live recording of the dance floor which is an even better bonus to see everyone dancing candid. The music was 10/10, kept the dance floor full and fun. Darrin exceeded our expectations for the day and kept the schedule smooth and party epic. If I had to do it again, I’d choose Premier Entertainment again without hesitation! Book them for your next event!”

“We booked Groove is in the heart & DJ Clare for our wedding. We had a wide range of music tastes and weren’t sure how it would all come together but Clare handled it effortlessly. She read the room, kept the energy going, and made sure every moment had the perfect soundtrack. From the pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, to the dance floor, everything flowed beautifully. We didn’t have to worry about a thing Clare had it all under control and kept the party going. She covered everything from oldies and Suavemente to Blink-182 and somehow made it all feel cohesive and fun. One moment that really stood out was when we asked to include a specific meaningful slow song that was used as the first dance at my husband’s brother’s wedding. Clare was completely receptive and even offered to call them out before playing it, turning it into a sweet and memorable moment for everyone. Thank you Clare!!!”

Bill was super friendly and fantastic to work with, extremely quick to respond, and went above and beyond to make sure the event went smoothly. We had so much fun and they kept the party and dancing going the entire night. I definitely recommend using their service for your own event.”

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.”
