    Excellent DJ!!!

    Don was amazing! He was on top of communication from the beginning and that is so important, especially when you get closer to the wedding date and have to deal with so many details. He made me feel so comfortable and heard. We wanted to incorporate some Ukrainian and Jewish music and he was completely on board and blended the genre’s wonderfully. He also really vibed with the crowd and knew when to switch up songs. He also provided the Photo Booth for our wedding and it was just so nice and easy to use one vendor for both services. The cost was incredibly reasonable for such a great outcome. He brought a wonderful energy and enthusiasm that you need in a DJ. I highly, highly recommend using Windy City Jam as your wedding/event DJ.

    Hello Olga, thank you for the kind words. You had a great group of friends and family who really love to party. It made my job that much easier.

    5/25/24 Wedding

    Don was a total professional when it came to setting up our photo booth and "telephone," he had everything ready to go before our guests came in. He had walked us through on how everything was going to work and what to expect. No hidden surprises and no malfunctions. Every single one of our guests had a blast at the photo booth, from the different backgrounds, facial wear, and hats, he had it all! All the guests loved it and I would highly recommend him for any event! He has quite the charming personality to even get the shyest of the shy to cut loose at his photo booth. Jess and myself can't thank you enough for making our special night that much better!

    Windy City Jam's reply:

    Thanks you for the great review Matthew and Jessica! You can see from the photos which were taken that your guests were totally enjoying the booth. Precious memories were made that evening.

    Amazing to work with

    Don and his team did an amazing job at our reception. He was so responsive and helpful in planning, and pivoted efficiently when our reception schedule changed, mid-event. He works collaboratively with vendors, and is an overall hot to work with. Bonus, he worked an amazingly popular photo booth for our guest which added an extra level of authentic to the event. Without a doubt, would hire him again.

    Amazing DJ - Highly Recommend!

    Don is not only a fantastic dj, but he’s also a genuine and great guy. We were referred to him from a friend, and he simply did not disappoint! The dance floor was packed the entire night and all of our guests raved about his music selection. He’s organized (detailed questionnaire to help setup his duties for your event), flexible, professional, and highly knowledgeable. We’ve already recommended him to friends and family, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any event that needed a dj. A BIG thank you to Don and his wife for making our wedding one to remember. We can’t thank you enough.

    Windy City Jam's reply:

    Fantastic review Ben, thank you so much! Your guests enthusiasm to have a good time showed throughout the evening. I hope to cross paths again in the future.

    Best DJ we could ask for!

    Don was amazing! He was our DJ/MC for our wedding and provided our audiobook for guests. He met with us before we hired him to go over our vision of the wedding and what type of music we like. He then sent a survey of everything we want to include in the wedding and the timeline. Don met with us again 2 weeks before the wedding to finalize all the details. He also went to the venue to get an idea of the set up.
    He was very organized and on top of everything. He kept us on our timeline and the music was phenomenal. He really reads the crowd and knows how to get and keep people on the dance floor. The dance floor was packed the entire night! My family of all ages were having a great time. The music is so important for weddings and I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!
    He also provided the uplighting services and it did not disappoint! The venue looked so much better with the lighting and it really impacted the atmosphere! 10/10 we recommend his services!

    Attentive and amazing DJ!

    Don really went above and beyond! We had an initial meeting to go over our wedding vision and he was always easy to reach for any questions (and the many last minute requests we added). He had many great ideas that we didn’t think of and we were able to bounce ideas off of him with his extensive wedding experience. He provided music and uplighting for both the ceremony and the reception. The ceremony went flawlessly and everyone knew their cue. As for the reception, we still have people telling us how much fun they had dancing at our wedding even a month later! He was very in tune with what kept people on the dance floor. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!

    One of the best parts of our wedding!

    In a room full of people that I thought wouldn't get up, Don was able to get everyone up and moving. He really knew how to feel the room out and make sure everyone was having an amazing time. I couldn't thank him enough for how easy he made the process for us. He was extremely professional and made sure every little detail was to our liking. I didn't expect so much guidance in planning out the evening as I had no idea what to include or the order of events. He helped a lot in that area and we greatly appreciated that. It made this whole experience less stressful. I highly recommend him to anyone!

    It has always been a great experience working with Don. He’s very reliable, easy to work with, respectful & trustworthy. He goes out of his way to deliver efficient & great service. I won’t hold back in recommending him to anyone who’ll ask for a DJ.

    Amazing experience

    First off, Don and his team rocked the house for our wedding! The dancefloor was poppin the whole time!

    We went through a date change, and not only was Don helpful in regards to us make this decision but he was supportive, patient, and flexible. It turned a potentially stressful situation into an easy change! Don was psyched to see the venue, lay out the room, ideas flowing in his mind about lighting and setup! I gave him a few guideline in regards to music and he blew it out of the water! He always felt out the vibe of the room, made song changes as needed, remixed and transitioned the songs so well.

    The photo booth was set up perfectly, his team handled the compilation of the guest book and encouraged people to sign and continue to take wild pictures. We left with the photo album at the end of the night which was so much fun to look over!

    The party did NOT want to stop. We would hire Don and his team over and over again!

    Windy City Jam

    The level of professionalism is a 10+. The DJ was absolutely fantastic and he kept that dance floor hopping no one wanted to stop dancing due to the high energy and the music being played all night. From old school house music to hip hop, rap it was a fun night for all. Thank you Windy City Jam for a memorable evening!

    Professional friendly accommodating

    We hired Windy City Jam for our wedding. Dj Don is the most professional, friendly & accommodating vendor I’ve ever worked with. His overall service & attitude exceeded our expectations. Dj Don was extremely organized and coordinated with the other vendors (photographer, videographer, banquet staff) allowing our wedding reception to go smoothly. And, he knows how to read the crowd & played music that kept people dancing throughout the night. We have and continued to refer him to all our friends & family.

    Christmas Party

    We had Don for our recent company Christmas party and he was excellent from start to finish.
    He accommodated us at the last minute and gravitated to our crowd and kept the dance floor flowing throughout the night. We all had a great time and would highly recommend Don for any upcoming events

    Excellent DJ

    I hired Windy City Jam on 2 occasions, One for the 7th birthday of my daughter and the latest is my 50th birthday! Don is an Excellent DJ, very Accommodating and very Flexible and would cater to his clients needs! He not only knows how to do DJ stuffs but he also has Personalized Monograms to make your Party more Unique and Petsonslized! He also helps with other party needs such as games if you need to during your party to make it more lively and will also try to connect you with other vendors if you need help with Projection for your Party! Overall I am very satisfied with DJ Don’s service! I highly recommend him and would definitely consider him to be our DJ for another Event! Thank you Don!

    The best dj!

    I could not have asked to work with a better DJ. Don exceeded our expectation for our wedding and we're forever grateful.

    He is very detailed oriented, organized, easy to communicate with, flexible, and so very friendly. The moment we met in person I knew I met a friend for life. Not only did Don go above and beyond to fulfill his services, he provided his insights on things that I missed which was super helpful.

    The photo booth was also amazing. All of our guests (including my wife and I) had so much fun taking pictures with the props he provided.

    Don did a great job reading the floor and was able to get everyone out on the dance floor. Our wedding day was perfect and Don played a huge role in ensuring that.

    All of the reviews about how awesome Don is very very accurate. Thank you again, Don! :)

    Smooth and Communicative Process

    DJ Don was awesome! He got us out a jam. Our pianist for the ceremony dropped out with weeks to go and Don was able to step in and provide services on such short notice! Monogram and up-lighting services made the reception look stylish. Above all, we would definitely recommend DJ Don because he was so easy to work with to talk everything through. From our first communication until the end of the night, he made sure everything went smoothly for our special night.

    The Best DJ!

    We worked with Don for DJ and Photo booth services for our wedding, and both exceeded our expectations! Especially during covid and not knowing what our wedding would look like, Don was so helpful, organized and extremely friendly. It was so easy to work with him, and the day was perfect. He was a great MC and got everyone on the dance floor. The party wouldn’t have been the same without him!

    Felt like family

    Don was great to work with and played fun music catering to our requests as well as our guests. Communication was easy and Don was very accommodating to any changes. He came to the space ahead of time to assess and provide his insight, which I appreciated. He provided beautiful uplighting which enhanced the space. Our guests complimented his DJing and emceeing as he was very attentive throughout the reception. I highly recommend working with Don and would book him again! Thank you, Don!

    Amazing time!

    You do not just get a DJ for your event - you get so much more! There’s so many things I didn’t realize I needed for my wedding that Windy City Jam organized for me. From the songs prior to the start of the ceremony, songs during the cocktail hour, uplighting (which made the whole venue look a million times better) including our own monogram lit up on the dance floor! He was able to get play every specific song I needed for different parts of the ceremony and reception. The team also helped keep my bridal party on task for our different events to make sure everything we needed to get done was done. Highly recommend!

    Don is the best! He is so amazing and talented!

    Don did an amazing job at my parents’ 70th Birthday party! I highly recommend him! He responds right away to emails, phone calls, and texts. He has a lot of experience and made the entire planning of this party smooth. He was so helpful with his feedback and suggestions on ways to make our party program more exciting and entertaining for our guests. I gave him a few songs that my mom liked and he was able to select and play the perfect style of songs for that evening. He even went out of his way to make and play Happy Birthday in Korean for my mom and dad! I was able to sit back and relax at this party because of Don. I gave him a timeline of events and he followed the plan and also jumped in when necessary to speed things along. He is very flexible and affordable! I ended up actually needing an additional 30min at the end and he was able to do this. He is very reliable and I had no worries when I booked him for this party. He was also the DJ for my wedding, so I already knew I could count on him for a perfect night! He showed up early to set up and was prepared. He is very talented and also comes with an amazing voice! Very professional and friendly. This birthday party had a LOT going on. We had several musical performances, speeches, Slideshow, games, etc. Don handled all of this making the transition from each one to the next very smoothly and did not forget a single thing! My parents’ party was AMAZING because of him. Thank you Don!
