About Toast and Jam DJs

Toast and Jam DJs & Photo Booth

DJs & PBJs

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.

Our DJs are super-talented and totally music-obsessed, but we aren't music snobs. We understand that it’s your wedding, and it’s all about what you want. We aren’t club DJs who took a wedding “for the money.” We love weddings and are honored to be a part of the big day. We work closely with your other vendors to make sure that the event goes off perfectly.

    Organized, energetic, and personalized

    DJ Alli was incredible and managed both the audio and MCing of our wedding seamlessly. Since most of the music we personally love isn’t necessarily the most danceable, we were so grateful to DJ Alli and Toast & Jam for helping us curate a playlist that still felt true to our taste while being fun and engaging for everyone. We honestly didn’t expect it, but our dance floor was full all night! Alli did such a great job reading the room and keeping the energy going without making the music feel generic or disconnected from us. We also got to hear so much of the music we personally enjoy during cocktail hour and dinner, which made the music throughout the day feel really romantic and personal. Everything felt effortless from our perspective, and we could not have asked for a better DJ to bring the party together!

    Book Toast & Jam asap!

    We cannot recommend Alli and the team at Toast & Jam enough! From our first conversations through our final planning meeting, communication was fantastic. Alli took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, and we walked away feeling so excited for our wedding day. Then she completely exceeded every expectation we had. She absolutely nailed the music from start to finish, and the dance floor was packed all night long. My husband and I barely left the dance floor because every song was better than the last, and so many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was. Alli brought such great energy to our wedding while making everything flow seamlessly. If you're looking for a DJ who will keep your guests dancing all night and create an unforgettable atmosphere, look no further than Alli and Toast & Jam!

    highly recommend!

    DJ Alli with Toast & Jam is AMAZING! Pre-wedding, she took the time to talk through our taste in music and what we wanted. She made seamless cuts of our first dance songs and even accommodated a last-minute request to add a first dance. Throughout the night, the music selection was excellent and was perfectly tailored to our tastes and to the crowd - people stayed on the dance floor all night long! And so many of our guests commented on how great the music was. Alli was a pleasure to work with - highly recommend! We also had Toast & Jam's photo booth, and it was a hit! The photo booth team was accommodating and was so nice to all of our guests. We love having the digital and printed copies of all the photo booth pics (although guests found it hard to leave the dance floor to hit the photo booth)!

    The Best DJ in Chicago

    We went with Toast and Jam for our wedding and could not have been happier with the decision. We are both fairly shy people and we had concerns that our families and friends weren’t the “danciest” or most lively crowd, and Damani absolutely threw down for the entirety of the evening. Many of our guests commented during the evening and afterwards that our DJ was incredible. To quote one of our friends - “I did not feel like I could sit down for 3 hours straight because Damani was just playing banger after banger.” Thank you for making our special day that much more special 3

Our DJs provide music for cocktails, dinner and dancing and the basic sound equipment. We have a 6-hour minimum. Any additional time or special equipment will incur additional charges. Weddings and events more than 25 miles from our office will incur an additional travel fee. We also offer Photo Booth and Lighting Services.
We would love for you to give us your first dance song and your father-daughter and/or mother-son songs. That way we can ensure that we’re playing the correct version of your songs of choice (because the Etta James version of “At Last” is way different from the Stevie Wonder version - yeah, it exists).
Nope. Sorry to be blunt, but it’s just not fair to our brides and grooms to invite strangers to crash their weddings. We wouldn’t want that for our own weddings, and we’re guessing you wouldn’t want it for yours either. Also, we specialize in tailoring the events to the specific needs of the client. One client’s dream of an all gangsta-rap wedding could potentially be your nightmare.
We’d love to, provided your ceremony and reception are at the same location (and by same location we mean under the same roof, within the same walls or generally on the same property). That does not include, for example, the park across the street or the church around the corner. Not to get too technical, but it’s a lot more complicated than just throwing up some speakers.
All Toast & Jam DJs use high-end equipment that can (and will!) create beautiful sound in any and all venues. We are fully digital and do not use vinyl. If you want the full details on equipment, you can get the rundown when you meet with your DJ - all the DJs own their own gear, so everyone’s rig is a little different.
