A great DJ, period.
DJ Chizzzik, a.k.a. Tim is not just a great "wedding DJ," but a great DJ, period.
We hired DJ Chizzzik for our wedding at the Canfield Casino in October 2025. We had around 60 guests, most of whom were in their mid-20s to early-30s, along with a few people around our parents age (Gen X/young boomer). The most important thing to us was that our guests would all have fun at our wedding.
Our love of music is what brought my husband and I together when we first met. It was so awesome that we could partner with someone like DJ Chizzzik, whose love for music comes across instantly. When you just watch videos of him on his IG or on Youtube, he can effortlessly mix together different genres, eras, and beats. He understands the power of music from both a technical and emotional standpoint.
Your DJ choice is really important, not just for the feeling on the dancefloor, but also to help guests understand where to be, what to do next, and where to look in a huge room. DJ Chizzzik sent us a thoughtful questionnaire that made it easy for us to think through all the choices we had to make, and made the announcements we needed, without any of the cringe-y stuff a “traditional wedding DJ” tends to lean on.
In the questionnaire, we also had a chance to fill in some of our favorite music (we shared a playlist of some of our favorite songs), choose the mood we wanted to set for different parts of the evening (cocktail hour, pre-ceremony, songs for specific moments, etc), and add in a “do not play” list. When we chatted live before the wedding, DJ Chizzzik reassured us that we would not feel like we were at a high school dance, which is exactly the vibe I think most couples want to avoid.
On the wedding day, everything felt easy and most importantly, fun. Our ceremony music was perfectly cued. During the reception, people were having fun on our dance floor was from the time it opened to the very last song. DJ Chizzzik did an impressive job of building out the entire night from our initial list of songs, creating different "moods" throughout the night, weaving together everything from reggaeton to disco to Playboi Carti.
It was so special to feel all of these parts of our life coming together, and to be surrounded by our closest friends and family. Weeks later, our friends and family are still telling us just how great the music was and how much fun they had.
One word of caution: If you book DJ Chizzzik, bring a pair of shoes you can dance in. Lots of our guests switched out of their dress shoes later on so they could keep partying all night long :)
