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! -

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! -

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. -

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! -

Jacqueline M. Sent on 01/10/2023Amazing!
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. -

Good music was a top priority in wedding planning for us, and DJ Chicago knocked it out of the park. Our venue and planner told us to book Nick & his crew and said they were the best in Chicago. I'm so glad they were available! The entire process leading up to the wedding was smooth and easy. My now husband had for years been compiling a playlist for cocktail hour / dancing, and Nick & Jordan (who DJ'ed our wedding) were enthusiastic to put together playlists that fit our tastes and vibe. Jordan also read the energy and crowd well and added in some songs of his choosing that worked perfectly. Many friends told us our wedding had the best playlist and fullest dance floor they'd ever seen. Thank you Jordan & Nick for making our day so special! -

We got married in October 2022. Working with Nick was an absolute breeze. We had a brief Zoom meeting a month before the wedding where we shared our must plays, do-not-plays, and shared a Spotify playlist of a few songs we liked as suggestions and he was super receptive. He has a clear outline of what songs are needed besides the obvious ones like first dance (ex. Processional song, recessional song, entrance to reception song etc.) and has some great suggestions for songs if we didn’t have one that came to mind.
Day-of, Nick was incredibly professional and kind and did an excellent job with the songs, announcements, and transitions. Everyone was out dancing the whole reception and he nailed all of the names with pronunciation. 10/10 would highly recommend booking with DJ-Chicago and specifically Nick! -

DJ-Chicago tied for our favorite vendor for our October 2022 wedding! Everything from our first inquiry to the end of the wedding was top-notch service. Personally, I didn't see a reason to spend more on a $$$ or $$$$ DJ, this was a category I wanted to stay affordable on. I'm so happy we chose DJ-Chicago (wedding websites labeled as $$) which was amazing quality for the very reasonable price! Cannot recommend these guys enough! Owner Nick was so professional and organized, very flexible even the 1-2 weeks before our wedding when speeches were still very up in the air! DJ on the day of our wedding was Chad who we truly LOVED both as a person and as a DJ, he couldn't be a nicer guy and perfectly mixed our song requests with his choices that kept the party going! Highly recommend hiring DJ-Chicago, you won't regret it!! -

From the start, working with DJ-Chicago was as easy as could be. Everyone was responsive, kind, and clearly excited to be a part of our wedding team. We were so impressed with how naturally our DJ, Gil, worked with the Club's staff to manage the night, and his talent for keeping the dance floor partying goes without saying - we literally danced the entire night! One highlight of how great he made the event: we were completely surprised to see he had coordinated lights to match the mix our cousins put together for their dance, which set the excited tone for the rest of the reception. He also did a great job of balancing song requests while staying true to the atmosphere we wanted for the night. Our friends and family keep telling us that it was the most fun they have had in a long time. Thank you Gil and DJ-Chicago for keeping the process easy, fun, and true to our dream night! -

Hiring DJ-Chicago for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding! Nick was so friendly and easy going from the initial phone call to the day of the event. He was our DJ for the night and didn’t complain once about our long list of song requests. :) He did such an awesome job mixing our requests in with his own song suggestions to the point where our dance floor was packed until the very last song! He was a pleasure to work with and we cannot recommend him & DJ Chicago enough! -

Talk about the best music ever!! Our wedding was on 9/23/22 and Nick was our DJ. From the first inquiry to the end of the wedding night, Nick was great at communication and so kind. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception introductions, to dinner classics, to first dances, to partying until the end of the night… WOW he killed it! Everything was so smooth and we received so many compliments after the wedding. The dance floor was packed the entire night. We highly recommend Nick! He is great at what he does and very professional. Thank you again, Nick!! -

The DJ-Chicago team was great from day one helping us plan and prepare for our wedding.
Our DJ, John, was awesome! He was very kind and communicative, making sure that our ceremony and reception went just as we had planned. The dance floor was full all night and he did a great job with the playlist. Wouldn’t change a thing. -

Nick, our DJ was fantastic. We had a zoom meeting 2 weeks before the event where we went over the ceremony and things to be expected. He was able to accommodate all of our requests, evens with some out of the box ones. Day of, Nick was on time, prepared and ready to go. He kept us informed and up to date throughout the entire event. His playlist from dinner through the last song was on point and kept the dance floor full the entire night. -

Anna P. Sent on 01/08/2023If 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. -

DJ Chicago was great to work with for our wedding. We had Gil as our DJ and he was fantastic. He was very professional and friendly and kept us dancing the whole night. We got a lot of comments that the DJ was amazing. Nick, the General Manager, was also great to work with. He was organized and great with communication. We were so happy we had DJ Chicago at our wedding. -

Ralph M. Sent on 11/22/2021Use DJ-Chicago! We're sure glad we did!
Nick from DJ Chicago was the DJ for our costumed Halloween wedding, and I seriously cannot speak highly enough of him. Our dance floor was as active for the entire night as I've seen at any wedding, and Nick was also very on the ball in regards to making sure the scheduled dances happened according to plan.
A few weeks prior to the ceremony we had a zoom meeting where we told him what we were looking for, and no request was too specific or too vague for him; it was clear he'd be cool to do the entire thing on a playlist or to pick all the songs himself, and I really appreciated that. We ended up doing a split of the two, and all the songs that Nick picked fit in perfectly with the event, our selected songs, and our musical tastes. He also had no issue finding and playing a lot of obscure music that we requested, which I also appreciated.
It's also worth noting that because of Covid we had to postpone the reception an entire year, and DJ-Chicago was totally cool about that and very responsive throughout.

100% recommend DJ Chicago, specifically Chad, for your wedding or event!! We had such an amazing experience working with DJ Chicago for our wedding. Our dance floor was full the entire night thanks to Chad’s amazing song selection and song transitions; every song was a hit! We were a little behind schedule (because of transportation) and Chad not only made sure we could still fit on our private first dance, which was a true highlight of our night, but also casually and professionally checked in with us to get us back on track with our timeline with speeches / first dances. In addition, the whole planning process was so organized from day 1 – DJ Chicago knows what they are doing and are true professionals! Also, even though they are organized and know what they are doing, they also were creative and helped us to a ‘reverse anniversary dance’ to get our guests out on the dance floor which was a huge hit!
