    Wedding DJ

    Joe was the best DJ we could've asked for for our wedding. Our dance floor was completely packed from the beginning until end! We received so many compliments on our DJ and music and our wedding would not have been what it was without After Hours Music!

    The best dj!

    If you are thinking about hiring Joe for your wedding, absolutely DO IT!!! He was the best DJ we could have imagined. He read the room perfectly and kept the dance floor packed our entire reception! We had so many guests ask for his contact information and our photographer asked to add him to her recommended vendor list. His planning guide and meeting were so organized and helpful. The uplighting looked beautiful in our reception room. He did an incredible job with introductions, speeches, etc. and kept the vibes up the entire time! THANK YOU THANK YOU JOE!

    Amazing Wedding DJ

    I cannot recommend Joe highly enough to anyone looking for a DJ - particularly for a wedding. Joe did the music for our ceremony, provided a microphone for our officiant, did introductions to the reception, played dinner music, and then kept the party going for about four hours at the reception. Everything was flawless. Multiple people told me, unsolicited, that the DJ at our reception was awesome and that they loved the music he was playing. He also did the uplighting for the room, switching between a variety of colors. Joe could not have performed better!

    The best DJ for any event, especially Wedding!

    Joe played all of our song requests and more that kept everyone on the dance floor! Everyone told us how they did not want to leave the dancefloor because they were having so much fun. We have never been to a wedding where a dance floor was packed from start to finish. Joe is very organized and made sure our introductions, toasts, speeches and first dance were all on schedule. His uplighting was also amazing and set the mood for the night. Not to mention, his DJ booth/lights are very sleek/professional looking.

    Most amazing experience & the best DJ!!!!

    Joe did such an amazing job at our wedding on New Years Eve, he kept everyone on the dance floor all night and went above our expectations! We are so happy with how everything went and people have still been telling us how great he was!! With it being New Years Eve, Joe did more than just DJ he did a whole countdown for the new year and helped us celebrate our love with everyone we love and ring in the new year, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. I will recommend Joe to anyone I know that is in need of a DJ for sure!!!

    Very great!

    From start to finish Joe was absolutely the man! He was more than accommodating towards us and then some. I could only give 5 stars otherwise he is a 10 star rating. I consider Joe a dear friend after our wedding that's how great of a job he did. Thank you again for helping us throw the biggest and most fun wedding ever!!

    Best part of my wedding!

    Joe absolutely crushed it! Everyone is asking about the highlight of my wedding and the answer is easy....the dance floor and music. He really read the crowd and played the best mix all night. I never wanted it to end and cannot wait to hire him again!

    Excellent!

    DJ Nardi is absolutely the best DJ! From the moment we booked with him he was very organized using his online portal, he guided us through the process, shared ideas on what makes a wedding a success and what we needed before the special day. Joe helped us plan the ceremony music which required a great sound system due to our outdoor venue, our dinner music which was Frank Sinatra style and the best part was the variety of mix music everyone danced to all night long. He set the overall vibe and everyone was on the dance floor up until the very last minute. He’s a great DJ offering a variety of music, mixing it just right and really knows how to read the crowd. He’s also a great MC and kept our party flowing all night long. If your looking for the best of the best it’s DJ Nardi! Thanks Joe Nardi for everything you did to make our day so special. We still have guests telling us the night was so much fun and our DJ was excellent! This was definitely a night to remember. Your simply the BEST and we are forever grateful!

    Absolutely amazing

    DJ Nardi had the whole wedding party dancing all night long. Played all the popular music starting from the oldies all the way to todays music all mixed in together. There was no awkward stopping in between music. Everything was beautifully blended in together. He did an absolute amazing job. Every guest complimented on how great our DJ was. We couldn't ask for a better person to have done our wedding

    Kept everyone on the dance floor!

    Don't think twice, BOOK JOE NOW! Joe was the BEST DJ I have ever seen at a wedding, and I feel so lucky it was my own wedding! Our guests could not stop talking about the fantastic variety of music and they never wanted to leave the dance floor. Our night was a total party and I couldn't have been happier with him! I would suggest Joe 10/10 times for any event needing a DJ! He totally followed our suggestions and was SO quick with requests! Thank you SO much, Joe!

    Amazing/Best DJ!!

    Joe is seriously the best! He is so responsive and the nicest guy! Our wedding was such a hit and the dance floor was never empty. He played a great variety of music and the night was such a blast. The transitions throughout the day were flawless thanks to Joe! Everyone who was there could not stop talking about how amazing the music was from our friends, cousins, grandparents, etc! If you need a DJ for an event, DJ Nardi from Afterhours Music is definitely the best choice! Thanks for everything Joe, you're the best!

    After Hours Music

    AMAZING DJ! We used After Hours Music for our wedding in early June, and everyone is talking about how great the DJ/music was. The dancefloor was packed the entire time. Joe was easy and great to work with, would highly recommend. We knew about After Hours Music because friends used him for their wedding, and both weddings were fantastic music wise. We would not change a thing if we had to do it again, and would definitely recommend Joe for anyone searching for a great DJ!

    Joe Nardi is incredible! Throughout the entire planning process, Joe was quick to respond, easy to work with, and made sure we were happy. He is very organized and helped make our wedding go as smooth as we hoped for. Our guests did not leave the dance floor all night! He knew exactly what to play and the right times to play it. We had a blast!! If you are looking for a DJ who keeps the party going, Joe is your guy!!

    The Best DJ!

    Joe DJ'ed a wedding I attended in 2021. We had such an amazing night, dancing for hours, that we just knew we HAD to have Joe for our wedding as well. You can tell that he has a great attention to detail, true experience, and an immense amount of passion for his craft. He kept our dance floor lively the entire night - even with all of our guests' requests. We could not recommend Joe enough! Book him ASAP!

    Best DJ in the Chicagoland

    We asked Joe to be the DJ for our wedding, and let me tell you, he did not disappoint AT ALL!! We know how important music is at an event, so it was a priority that we get this aspect right. Joe listened to our wants and he delivered everything we wanted for our music and MORE! We have had our guests calling and texting us saying that was the most fun wedding they've been to and they could not stop dancing. Such a success! Thank you for everything Joe!

    Exceptional Service

    It is no surprise that After Hours Music has 5-star ratings on every platform that you can think of.

    We first contacted Joe about two years ago based on a recommendation from a client of mine. I feel that Joe exceeded expectations in his role - even my coordinator commented on how amazing that he was. As a bride navigating planning a wedding during a pandemic (we had 5 major changes: 3 different dates, changed venues to Wisconsin, and also had to change caterers within 2 months of the wedding), it is extremely appreciated when a vendor is timely in response. Joe was always one of the first vendors to respond - frequently within minutes of a sent email. I cannot express to folks enough how much you will appreciate this when you are planning your event.

    Several reviews will comment on how Joe has the amazing ability to read the room and play music that will get everybody moving. This was no different from our wedding. Even with a little drama that happened during the last speech that could have easily spoiled the evening, Joe was able to quickly adjust and help us to get people happy and moving on the dance floor. Folks had to be kicked out at the end of the night, which was after midnight on a Sunday evening.

    Amazing DJ!

    Joe was the DJ for our wedding on June 12th and he was incredible! The pre-planning forms are very detailed and a few days before the wedding we spoke on the phone to review the information. I truly appreciated that he also made sure that he had the pronunciation of everyone's name in the bridal party. We added the uplighting and gobo to our package. The gobo received so many compliments as well. Our dance floor was packed the entire night with a variety of music! I will definitely continue to recommend Joe and After Hours Music!!

    Book Joe Now!

    I've known Joe personally for over 20 years, so it was a no-brainer choosing him to DJ our wedding. I based my wedding date around his availability! Even though I had an idea of what to expect, attending many weddings Joe has done, I was still so beyond impressed with his service and professionalism. The online planning tools were super easy to use. I love the feature of recommendation song lists for each part of the ceremony & reception. Joe is super responsive and honored all of our song requests. Most importantly, he kept the dance floor packed all night long! I had so many people complimenting him and even asking for his card. Joe, we cannot thank you enough for everything. You were absolutely outstanding! Do not look elsewhere for your wedding DJ, Joe is the very best there is!
