    Perfect Soundtrack

    Spencer and Style Matters are a dream to work with. We had Ryan for our big day, and I cannot express how amazing the music was throughout the day. The detailed form provided before your wedding is fantastic, and was a major help for us, as we stressed about music for a long time! We received so many compliments, but we can honestly say that EVERYONE was dancing until the lights came on! Ryan did an incredible job keeping our crazy families on the dance floor, and everyone raved about the tunes all night! Major, major thanks for setting the tone for our day :)

    Only book if you are serious about dancing all night!

    Esteban was an absolute gem at our wedding! He kept the party alive and the dance floor hopping all night long. His music selection was on point, and he seamlessly blended different genres to cater to all our guests' tastes. He listened to our tastes and helped provide an awesome set list. Esteban's energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and he truly understood the vibe we wanted for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to create the perfect atmosphere. We received so many compliments and many people asked how we found such an awesome DJ. Would definitely book Esteban again!

    Thanks, Max

    We got a Style Matters DJ as part of our venue—they spin at Greenhouse Loft. We were thrilled with Max, who was cheerful, responsive, and easy to talk to. We had a couple of special requests (ranging from special dances to "please don't use the phrase 'ladies and gentlemen'") and he handled it all, including a little light emceeing, without blinking. (Not literally.) Almost uniquely, he made it hard for me to want to leave the dance floor; he just "got" our vibe perfectly. Highly recommend.

    10/10 would recommend!

    We were lucky enough to get "Duke" as our DJ for our November wedding. He was the BEST! He came recommended by our day-of coordinator, and that recommendation was affirmed in our first meeting when he came prepared with a list of questions that really go to the core of my and my partner's music tastes, which are quite different. To be fair, I'm more a fan of pop and country fan, and my partner is a huge believer that country isn't real music, and EDM / dance pop is where it's at. Duke was able to help us find some common ground and create a playlist that played to both of our preferences and kept the dance floor alive all night long (though my partner would likely still argue that he snuck in one too many "pop country" hits to the playlist for his taste lol).

    Duke brought so much fun energy to the evening (beyond just the music he also was an amazing emcee) and kept even our older guests engaged and excited to come out and party with some fun oldies toward the beginning of the night before transitioning to more traditional "club" vibes later on that the bridal party could vibe with. Duke was also great in helping us curate our bridal party intros and music for dinner, throwing in some fun Disney songs that had our guests laughing and singing along, absolutely setting the right tone for the night right off the bat. We knew we would be in good hands with Style Matters, but felt so lucky to have Duke be a part of our day and be our music deity for the night.

    No one left the dance floor

    No one left the dance floor once it opened up! Our DJ was Jonathan M and he was great to work with and matched up the music and energy we wanted for the night. Also, Spencer was quick to respond throughout the whole process. This is a great vendor

    Perfect Match

    We had DJ Larry. He was the perfect fit for us. We were complimented on the music all night. He played our favorite songs and more. The mix all blended perfectly together. He was extremely entertaining and attentive. In our must playlist we had Wonderwall. I had put that song in because it was in my vows. My now husband requested for me on New Years party ship. It was the middle of club music and he did it to make me feel more comfortable. He played it as our last dance and it was the perfect song for it. My husband found me and hug me and we danced and sang together. I thanked the DJ for playing that and how much it meant to me. He said that he was putting together last songs and decided he must play this one. I was surprised because I thought someone told him about my vows and planned it. He said he must of felt it. I am so happy we were paired with him.

    Kept the dance floor going all night!

    DJ Max sure knows how to throw a party! We’ve never seen a dance floor so packed from end-to-end, and we were pleasantly surprised to see how many “grown ups” (parents, aunts, uncles, etc) were out on the floor. Max took our brain dump of song ideas and seamlessly threaded them into a playlist that appealed to all demographics, including weaving in some songs that we hadn’t thought of. Our only trouble was finding a time to take a break from dancing… any time we tried to leave, another favorite song came on! Highly recommend DJ Max from Style Matters!

    Would recommend Style Matters

    These guys rock and it as so fun to work with them throughout the process. We hired Spencer and Style Matters to DJ our Sangeet and Reception and had a blast. Margot was our DJ'ed for our Sangeet and Duke DJ'ed our Reception. They both did a great job. My wife and I really appreciated the thoughtfulness involved in the process as well - they asked us to provide 'Must Play', 'Like', and 'Do not play' song lists and we had a 30-45 min conversation with our DJs so they could better understand who we are, what kind of music we like, what are guests are like, etc. They also helped us put together the music for our first dance at the reception and another dance at our Sangeet.

    Great time for all!

    We began planning our wedding pre-COVID and immediately booked Style Matters - they were highly recommended by our venue and had great reviews. COVID happened, we postponed to later in 2020, and Style Matters was SO understanding and flexible. They worked with us for our new date, and we ended up finally having our mini-wedding on 10/2. Our DJ was Duke, and he did a fantastic job blending the varying tastes of all of our guests. Really went above and beyond my expectations at every point in the wedding planning process.

    Style Matters is a fantsastic DJ company! A friend reccommended them to me and we were not dissappointed. Spencer the owner has a great outlook for the company... no cheesy wedding music! We instantly clicked and new we had to book right away. Dustin was the DJ we used for our wedding and we received compliment after compliment on the music. People were dancing from the start of the reception to the finish... he definitely kept the party going!
    We would highly reccommend Style Matters to all brides!!

    Thank you, Ryan!

    Ryan was our DJ and he did a wonderful job! He was very professional and fun and did an awesome job keeping the reception on schedule. The dance floor was full the whole time and everyone had a blast! We had the best time and are so grateful for Ryan for making this the best party!

    Perfect Vendor!

    August 2019: Max was our Style Matters DJ and I cannot put into words how great he did! Our wedding guests were dancing the entire night and the music was absolutely perfect. I attended the Style Matters Spring DJ showcase and know that the other DJs are equally as talented, you can’t go wrong with choosing Style Matters. I will continue to recommend SM, and especially Max, to all my friends!

    Duke had our guests on the dance floor all night.

    Style Matters and DJ Duke Shin made our wedding reception the starts out classy but then turns wild party that we asked for. It was a perfect night.

    Amazing Party Thanks To Style Matters DJs!

    We worked with Jason for our wedding at Untitled Supper Club, and we couldn't be happier! Music was of our highest priority, and Jason fully understood and embraced our preferences and vision. When we met Jason a few months prior to the wedding, he genuinely desired to get to know us as a couple first before diving into his profession and the event logistics. It gave us confidence that Jason would tailor the night to how we wanted. We wanted the night to feel like a big party, and thanks to Jason, that desire was fully met! Not only did we dance for the majority of the night (which is rare for the bride and groom to get to do), but our guests were also dancing non-stop. At multiple points in the night, not a single guest was sitting in their chair - everyone was packed on the dance floor! Jason also went above and beyond to dress in velvet (which was part of our wedding "theme"). It made us so happy to have someone who truly cared about making the night special for us. Thank you, Jason!

    Would 100% recommend!

    Style Matters is truly the best of the best!! My husband and I hosted our wedding at Ovation and had Chris as our dj. The process was so easy; we filled out a questionnaire about our wedding and taste in music and were paired with Chris, who was a perfect match. We were a little nervous since the dj can make or break a wedding reception, but after our conversation with Chris prior to the wedding, our fears were gone. Chris was an absolute professional and extremely talented. He was able to flawlessly incorporate all of our requests and preferences to create the dance party of our dreams. Our guests did not want to leave the dance floor at the end of the night! We can't thank Style Matters or Chris enough for making it the most fun night of our lives.

    Great and Accommodating DJ

    We had Duke as our Style Matters DJ for our wedding and we were so impressed with him! Duke really took the time during our conversations leading up to our wedding to get to know our style and what our guests would enjoy. Day of, he coordinated well with our jazz trio during cocktail hour to ensure that the wedding party introductions to prerecorded music flowed well with the live jazz. Duke can really read a crowd and knows how to blend a variety of songs and beats to keep the party going, whether that is higher energy or a slower jam. Our guests were on the dance floor all night. We would highly recommend Duke and the Style Matters community for a wedding or special event DJ!

    Awesome DJ Company

    We got married 9/28/18 at Ovation Chicago. Our Style Matters' DJ was Dustin and he did a fantastic job from the initial interview through the event. We had ambitions for a 5+ hour dance and Dustin (and guest appearance from Spencer) kept it going the entire time. We provided him with comprehensive list of our music preferences and his song choices both on and off list were perfect. I could not have crafted a better playlist myself. I highly recommend both Dustin & Style Matters for your next event.

    We had DJ Rio Anderson for our wedding this last weekend. Oh my, did he put on a show. In fact, our photographer said he was one of the best DJs he has ever seen at a wedding. ALL of our guests kept telling us the next day how amazing our DJ was. Rio kept the party going until almost 1 AM, which was very nice of him... he didn’t need to do that but the dance floor was FULL! Thank you Rio for making our wedding one for the books!!!

    DJ Tim was a hit with all our guests!

    DJ Tim added such a nice touch to our wedding day: not only did he work with my husband to make sure he played exactly the right minutes of the right version of the song he wanted to process to, but he made the effort to let us know how touched he was by my dad's speech. And, of course, he was a hit with all our guests, from young kids to our friends to friends of our parents--he really knew how to read the room and keep people entertained. I'm so grateful for how thoughtful and communicative Tim was, he did an incredible job and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

    My husband and I worked with Style Matters for our October wedding, and it was nothing short of awesome. More specifically, we worked with Max, and he kept everyone on the dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG which was our main request. He seamlessly weaved in some odd must-play songs like "Sitting On the Dock of the Bay" and Toto's "Africa" without the energy ever decreasing from our dance floor. He was easy going, fun to work with, and most certainly not cheesy. I would highly recommend working with Style Matters!

    Having a lively and danceworthy music experience was at the top of our list when planning our wedding reception. We found just that with our DJ, Noah, from Style Matters. From the time that the music started playing, we literally had a packed dancefloor for 3.5 hours straight. There was never a "lul" or a song that even began to make a dip in the dancefloor. Noah incorporated all of the songs we wanted to hear, but did so with the most perfect timing and sequencing to make sure every single one was a hit. He was able to mix so many different genres that we love, including some Irish jigs that played homage to our Irish heritage and engagement. Our guests have repeatedly told us how incredible the music was and that it was the best and liveliest reception they've ever attended. Don't look any further for your DJ, Style Matters is IT!

    Our January wedding was at Ovation so the Style Matters DJ was included as part of our venue amenities. I had already heard great things about Style Matters previously and we could not have been more excited to work with them! Spencer and team were so easy to work with, very attentive, and have a serious ability to throw a great party. Spencer was easy to get a hold of and took all our input into account when suggesting a DJ that would fit our musical style. Although we were a bit nervous by just being “assigned” a DJ we trusted Spencer’s opinion and it couldn’t have worked out better. Spencer has a great strategy for knowing both his DJ’s and his clients (via the music questionnaire). Meeting up with Andrew Pascale was simple and he was very receptive and open to meeting at a time and place that worked for us. After sitting down with Andrew for an hour or so we knew he was a great fit and would provide us with a great dance floor. He was very flexible in his style and understood that this is a party for us and wanted everyone to have fun. He never forced any types of music and with his many years of experience he offered up a lot of good suggestions to keep the flow and party going. On the day of the wedding Andrew played for 6 hours in all types of styles ranging from old school crooners for cocktail hour, to pop hits, to country. The feedback from all of our guests was that he did an amazing job moving through various styles of music that kept people on the dance floor. We would highly recommend both Style Matters as well as Andrew to perform at any special occasion as their expertise and flexibility truly incredible. Thanks Spencer and Andrew!

    Style Matters was the best choice we could have made for music! Max was our Dj and he kept the dance floor alive all night. He was very attentive to our needs and really took the time to understand our vibe. When initially booking we spoke to Spencer, the owner and the process was pretty seamless. We met him at their venue (which is beautiful!) and discussed our needs and goal for our big day. Later Spencer sent us a questionnaire to fill out and paired us with our match which was Max. We then met Max at their venue to discuss the questionnaire and it gave us the chance to get to know each other and allow him to get a good feel for what we wanted. Our guests raved about the music and said it was the "most fun reception they have ever been to!" and we heard this a lot. Another great thing about Max is that he provided us direction and suggestions in areas where we had no clue. For example I did not want traditional Cannon and D for the entrance when walking down the aisle, but I did want something soft and romantic. He gave us to the tools to narrow our search and find the perfect music that complemented us as a couple. Max even offered some help and advice when it was outside the music realm- he was so fun and easy to work with with. Max is very talented and has great experience and expertise in all genres which allowed us to nail our wide variety of music choices in a seamless way. He did an awesome job and I would highly recommend Style Matters AND Max to provide the entertainment for your special day or any event for that matter!

    Dustin was the best DJ ever! Our venue wasn't big enough for a band and I'm so happy we ended up with StyleMatters. They listened to our vision, played our requests and made the event an enormous success. Thank you!

    DJ Teebot for the Win

    I had the most wonderful expereince with DJ Teebot. We had our wedding at a small resort in SW MIchigan and he actually had been going to the same resort with his family for years. So it added to how special the night was. He kept the crowd engaged. Style Matters got quite a few more clients from my friends and family after my wedding. He crushed it! Onto the service, it was great setting everything up They even had a night to showcase all the DJs' talents and clients could pick out what DJ they would prefer if they did at all - because honestly they were all wonderful. You will not have a bad experience, I promise.
