We began with a simple yet powerful vision: to revolutionize the way people experience events. Our journey started with a group of passionate individuals who shared a love for music, creativity, and making people happy. Today, we stand proud as a full-service company, specializing in DJ services, live music, photo booths, photography, videography, and state-of-the-art audio and stage equipment.

Our DJ services are the cornerstone of what we offer. We are the difference between a good event and an unforgettable one. Through expert music curation, seamless mixing, and an unmatched ability to read the room, we create energy that can't be faked and moments that can't be replicated. Every detail is intentional, every transition is purposeful, and every celebration is uniquely yours.

    Absolutely wonderful to work with!

    John was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day, without a doubt. From our first conversation, John was clear and quick to respond to every question we had, making the DJ-related items to our planning process the least stressful it could be (which helped tremendously for my Type-A brain). On the day of the wedding, he showed up completely prepared and was able to get all the ceremony and reception audio set-up before the start of the wedding — even after having a quick chat with me upon our arrival and double checking the last-minute additions and small-tweaks we made! John rolled with our timeline seamlessly and helped us stay calm when we were falling a bit behind schedule during the wedding day. He checked in with us before the reception started to confirm everything was exactly how we wanted it. Beyond the expectations for a DJ on a wedding day, John was genuinely warm and personable—the kind of person who made our entire day feel special. We'd hire him again in a heartbeat, and honestly can't imagine using anyone else for the special day!

    Exceptional, Professional, Thoughtful!

    Working with John, from our first consultation phone call, to our incredible wedding day, was nothing short of exceptional. He is communicative, energetic, thoughtful and an utmost professional. We picked John because on our consultation call, he took such an interest in us and our story and really shared his vision for our day. We wanted a DJ and live band, and John coordinated that seamlessly, setting us up with incredible live musicians as well. Leading up to the wedding, we were in contact frequently, and he made sure he truly understood our vision for the music, energy and vibe of our day. He made it clear he wasn’t just in charge of a playlist, but really wanted to execute the tone and vibe that we had in mind for our wedding. At the actual wedding, he really came through with every request we had and did it so efficiently and honestly, perfectly. He went above and beyond and you could tell he absolutely takes pride in and loves every second of what he does. We would not only recommend John/Chicago Top DJ, but we also would pick him 100/100 times if we did it all over again!

    Bride

    From the fist consult call to the day of our wedding, John made sure we felt heard and understood our vision for the day. He was always reachable when we had questions and showed real flexibility as we made changes to our plans. On the wedding day, John and David (the cellist) went above and beyond what we expected! They coordinated all of our music seamlessly and even created a special monogram on the wall that tied our whole reception together. Their organization and attention to detail made everything run smoothly, and both of them were an absolute joy to work with. We can't recommend them highly enough to couples looking for a DJ and entertainment team that truly cares about making your day special.

    Above and Beyond—Truly Exceptional DJ Experience

    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.

    AWESOME DJ

    Firstly, I'd like to share how amazing of a job John did at our wedding. I am particularly picky of what songs play and at what time they play. John does an outstanding job picking songs from our playlist and keeps your crowd moving and dancing. Secondly, we hired John as a DJ. BUT on top of that. His planning style and coordination was top tier. We felt like we had a second day of coordinator throughout the whole process. John makes sure EVERYONE (vendors, wedding party, bride and groom) is on top of the timeline. I'd also like to share that his set up was outstanding. It kept the vibes very high at our wedding. The lighting, the sound, the MC'ing. He does it all. We were EXTREMELY happy with John and I'd happily recommend him to anyone who is looking for a hardworking, genuine, professional and FUN DJ/Coordinator. Thank you for making our wedding day so special! -David and Irina
