Best dj ever!

I just wanted to reach out and say that I have had SEVERAL people reach out and ask about our DJ. Also, throughout the night, I couldn’t keep track of the compliments. Chad went above and beyond for us and I cannot thank him enough!!!! Of all the weddings that I have been to this year, I have NEVER seen a dance floor so packed. There were moments that we had no room 🤣 I give ALLLLLLL the credit to Chad and you all at DJ-Chicago!!!! Thank you so much for everything!! We will be hyping you up to everyone we know!!!

Beyond Expectations

Nick at DJ Chicago truly made our wedding reception exceptional - no exaggeration. We were actually blown away by his ability to read the room and keep the energy high and positive from beginning to end. We received endless compliments from our wedding guests on the DJ's incredible song choices and ability to bring the party to life. He was kind, organized, responsive, and accommodating leading up to the wedding as well. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ.

Perfect - no notes

DJ Chicago killed it, our music and dance floor was one of the top things our guests have raved about since our wedding.

Nick was awesome, and helped match us with Chad. We had a call with them where we outlined some of the big picture cues that were needed, and must-play/do-not-play lists. We shared our vision and they crushed it. We had more than one person tell us that they had a hard time figuring out when to use the restroom, as they didn't want to miss out a on a single song!

We would recommend to anyone getting married (or honestly, just looking to have an event with a great dance floor) in Chicagoland!

Highly reccomend!

Highly recommend booking DJ Chicago for your wedding or event. We hired DJ Chicago for our may 2025 wedding and it was truly one of the highlights of our night. Music was the most important aspect of the wedding for us and Nick from DJ Chicago did not disappoint.

My fiance and I like pop/edm music, not traditional wedding music so finding the right dj was extremely important. From the start of working together, I could tell Nick understood the vision. The night of the wedding, he executed our suggested songs flawlessly and made sure to perfect details such as how to pronounce our last name, what everyone’s nicknames were, etc. these little details are extremely important in giving our wedding a personal touch.

We also hired a saxophone (John from Cagen music) to play with the dj and Nick worked seamlessly with him. The dance floor was packed all night and our guests are still talking about it.

Finally, Nick was patient and accommodating as we made last minute changes the week of and even day of the wedding.

Overall cannot recommend Nick from dj Chicago enough!

Can’t recommend enough!

Nick and his team were amazing! I wanted a DJ who could keep the party going and read the room without me having to pick every song I wanted. Nick delivered that and so much more! He was so communicative leading up to our wedding and was so helpful the day of. He made sure we knew what was going on, who had the mic, and made sure we liked the vibes of the music. He let my husband and I request songs if we wanted to but I didn’t even need to because I feel like he knew exactly what to play and our guests had the best time! We are so appreciative to Nick and his team for making our wedding what it was!

DJ-Chicago made our wedding so much fun!

We had a NYE wedding and brought DJ-Chicago (Chad) to Indianapolis (we paid a travel fee). I cannot recommend this company enough. We heard from many guests that ours was one of the most fun weddings they have attended, and that was definitely thanks to Chad. People of all ages were on the dance floor until the venue closed at 1 am!

Book DJ Chicago!!

Gil from DJ Chicago DJ'd our wedding last Saturday and he was such a blast to work with. We had an introductory call with Nick and Gil and went over our "must have" songs and "Do Not Play" list. We had a great variety of music due to different age/ethnic demographics at our wedding. Gil was fabulous at reading the room and the dance floor was packed ALL night.

Best Dance Floor!

Nick with DJ Chicago was AMAZING to work with! He was so responsive and super helpful in the planning process. At the wedding he checked in with us to make sure everything was smooth and everything went off without a hitch. Our dance floor was INCREDIBLE. Several guests said it was one of the best dance floors they'd seen and it was banger after banger. We had such a blast and Nick with DJ Chicago was a huge part of our perfect day!

Amazing!

There is a reason that DJ-Chicago has 5 stars... they were truly amazing. We worked with Nick for our wedding and he had our dance floor full for the entire night. Not only that, we had a lot of hard-to-pronounce names in our party and he crushed the pronunciation of everyone. Further, he was entirely respectful and extremely entertaining throughout the night. If you are looking for a DJ that will respect your song wish list but can also successfully read a room, look no further. 10/10 recommend this company for any and all of your future events.

If you want your friends to keep telling you how great the music at your wedding was, book Gill + DJ Chicago!

Having been a guest at a good number of weddings, we know how critical the DJ can be in making or breaking a wedding reception for the guests - and Gil made our wedding reception absolutely incredible. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and we have gotten so many compliments from friends and family on how great the music was.

We met with General Manager Nick prior to booking and he was knowledgeable and confident that DJ-Chicago would be a good fit for us. Shortly before our wedding we met with Nick and DJ Gil and we got good vibes from him right away. He carefully listened to our preferences and picked up on the pop-punk thread that we were going for. He was professional throughout the entire process and kept meticulous notes. We had several songs chosen for processional/recessional/introductions etc. and he pulled everything off flawlessly. We especially appreciated him taking care to follow the very specific instructions we gave him for our first dance, he did, and our first dance was perfect. At one point he suggested that we change the song we picked to open the dance floor and we trusted him, which was the right choice as he got almost everyone dancing right away.

His ability to read the room was second to none as he kept the dance floor full literally until our time ran out at the venue. You are in good hands with Gil and DJ Chicago! We will never forget the amazing time we had, and we have Gil to thank for creating that atmosphere.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
