“We had an incredible experience with Chicago Top DJ, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for a wedding. From the moment things started, John brought amazing energy and kept everyone engaged throughout the entire event. What really stood out was how well he read the room. The music felt perfectly tailored to the crowd, transitions were seamless, and he created a fun, upbeat atmosphere that kept people on the dance floor and fully in the moment. One of the most memorable parts was when he brought in a live sax player toward the end of the set. It completely elevated the experience and added such a unique, high-end touch that guests are still talking about. Beyond the music, John was professional, easy to work with, and clearly passionate about what he does. If you’re looking for a DJ who goes above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience, Chicago Top DJ is an amazing choice. Highly recommend.”

She brought such elegance and emotion to the day – every piece was beautifully performed, perfectly timed, and added so much warmth to our ceremony. Robyn spent countless hours with us ahead of time to accommodate all of our music preferences with care and professionalism. She even traveled from out of town to be there for both our rehearsal and ceremony, which meant the world to us. Although we had some “not your norm” song choices, she took the time to learn new pieces just for our wedding. This made the experience feel even more personal. All of our guests commented on how moving and memorable the music was! If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to work with, we can’t recommend Robyn enough.

“DJ Motiv was extraordinary. I was so impressed by his professionalism, communication, and willingness to make sure our night was perfect. I was skeptical at first with some reviews mentioning that the DJ’s weren’t playing the songs they chose. I immediately reached out and that was informed that it would not be an issue. ALL of our chosen music was played, with some song requests of guests (with bride’s approval, per DJ motiv - loved that). DJ Motiv checked in with us constantly, even to make sure our food was at our table, if we needed drinks, if the music was going well, and if there was anything he could do. He was going above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. I even threw in special requests during my wedding, including him stopping my parent dance half way (on purpose) as if the music turned off, to take the mic and give a short speech. He did it phenomenally. I had a game request, with him being the commentator and director of, and he took that role and ran with it. The wedding guests LOVED him. I have nothing negative to say about his services. Even the photobooth was done great! I also had a custom sign made, with our new last name, and it was perfect! Such a great item to be able keep, and you get a year warranty on it. Anyway, I highly recommend this DJ!! He MADE our wedding perfect. Everyone loved him.”
