Nick was nothing shy of amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process. Extremely flexible, patient and nice to work with. We had him DJ our wedding and he put together the perfect mix of music which kept the dance floor packed the entire night. I would highly recommend using DJ Chicago, you’ll love it!
Nick was amazing to work with from day 1! Jason was amazing at our reception and kept the dance floor full all night long. He was amazing at reading the crowd while keeping everything appropriate for everyone!
My husband and I hired Nick from DJ Chicago for our December wedding and we couldn’t be happier with this choice! Nick nailed every aspect of being a DJ: he was a great MC and kept things moving, he did a great job at drawing in people of all ages to the dance floor, and he knew when the crowd was loving a song versus when to fade it early. Music was one of the most important aspects of our wedding day, and we had songs that we absolutely had to hear, songs we would like to hear, and songs we did not want to play at all. Nick did a great job respecting these choices while weaving in songs we hadn’t considered, all of which were a huge hit! Our family and friends are still raving to us about how they’ve never seen a dance floor so packed from start to finish. We can’t recommend DJ Chicago enough!
DJ Chicago provided the music and sound system services for our wedding at Loft on Lake in Chicago, and their team was superb! Nick was fun and easy to work with to manage everything, and our DJ at the wedding, Gil was so great! We heard nothing but rave reviews from all of our guests. Gil blended in, kept the dance floor going, and was very friendly with us and our guests. Again, DJ Chicago had a fantastic team and their services were the perfect match for our wedding. Highly recommend for your wedding!
10/10 recommend! If you are looking for a DJ that not only honors your “song wish-list”, reads the crowd for what will be an appropriate song choice, is a great host and speaker, AND is professional and graceful… look no further. We worked with Nick for our wedding and he truly helped in making it a night to remember. When I say people were on the dance floor all night… people were on the dance floor ALL NIGHT.
I cannot recommend DJ-Chicago enough and highly suggest you use them for whatever event you are planning.
Definitely recommend booking Nick and his team for any of your DJ needs! They know exactly what music to play to keep the party going!
Nick and Chad S were FANTASTIC to work with. Nick was great from the get go — responsive and helpful and super good vibes. Leading up to the event, we communicated about our music preferences and general direction we wanted the music to go during cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception. Even with a few last minute timeline changes, DJ-Chicago nailed it. Chad S was our DJ on our wedding day. He was professional and a very talented DJ. Chad nailed the cues and fades on our grand entrance and our first dance. Then during the reception, he kept the dance floor packed and did a lot of really nice fades and played some of the original samples of songs, which was cool! Chad S made it a party, not just a wedding!
DJ Chicago was amazing to work with!! We got soo many compliments about the DJ (Jason) from our wedding guests. He kept the guests and us dancing all night long on the dance floor. They ask you what songs you want for the key moments (walk down aisle, first dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, last song, etc.) and provide examples if you’re unsure about what song to use (they recommended “Man I feel like a women” by Shania Twain for the bouquet toss and it was a hit!) I cant recommend them more!
DJ-Chicago really is best in class. From start to finish they were so on top of everything. My wife and I are rather indecisive and they were so accommodating and flexible with all of our last minute requests and changes. A DJ really can make or break your wedding…in our case, Gil from DJ Chicago made our reception. Dance floor was crowded all night. Would highly recommend using their services, they will not disappoint.
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 are so glad we hired DJ-Chicago for our wedding! Nick was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding. Chad ended up being our DJ and he exceeded our expectations! I was so nervous that people wouldn’t be dancing but he did such a phenomenal job that many people didn’t leave the dance floor all night. Our reception was such a blast all thanks to Chad and DJ-Chicago. Hire them!!!
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!
We hired DJ-Chicago for our wedding and they did a perfect job. Nick walked us through all the organizational questions and helped us set a schedule and playlist/style for the music. The DJ for the event, Jason, was prompt and created a fun atmosphere for the entire evening, adjusting when necessary to keep everyone entertained. Overall, our interactions with DJ-Chicago were universally positive and we highly recommend them!
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!!
So so glad we were fortunate enough to have Nick DJ our wedding. Book these guys now. From the prep through the night itself, everything was handled perfectly with 0 stress. On the night itself, Nick kept the entire evening running smoothly and on time. Then the music and dancing were incredible – the dance floor was packed with both young and old having the time of their lives. We received countless compliments about the DJ, specifically saying this was the funnest wedding they had EVER been to. Highest recommendation for these guys!
Excellent and very professional DJ service! Highly recommend! They had everyone dancing the night away!
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!
We could not have been happier with Gil at DJ Chicago! As big partiers, we knew the DJ was one of the most critical decisions of the wedding. Gil did NOT let us down. He and Nick from DJ Chicago were very professional and devoted a lot of time to figuring out the vibe and style we wanted for our wedding. Gil was punctual and very easy to work with. Our dance floor was completely packed all night long! I highly recommend DJ Chicago for your event!
Jason and Nick were directly responsible for the success of our wedding. They were extremely helpful and professional and made the event perfect. Thanks again.
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.
DJ Nick was awesome!! We met with Nick a month or so before our wedding to talk about the day and he was very kind and thorough. On my wedding day he would come and check in on us every so often and let us know what was coming next in the schedule. When we met with Nick a month before the wedding, we didn’t give him a ton of direction on what music to play. Nick was able to curate a playlist that was so perfect that our guests asked if my wife and I had specifically given him a list of songs to play.
Nick kept the dance floor going all night and a few of my relatives shirts were completely soaked from dancing from the first dance to the last song. DJ Nick is a perfect choice for your wedding, I cannot recommend him enough
Nick was great to work with and their prices are reasonable. We had Gil as our DJ on our wedding night on 9/10/22 and I cannot say enough good things about him. The dance floor was packed the whole night. I’ve had so many people tell me already how much they loved our DJ. I also love how Gil was keeping me and my husband up to date on when we were going to do things such as the first dance, speeches, father daughter dance. He constantly made sure we were ok with everything. I am so happy I booked with DJ Chicago.
Chad was everything we could have dreamed of and more for a DJ. Not only was he incredibly kind, professional and prompt but his personality was delightful and the music was exactly what we envisioned. We had guests raving to us constantly about the music, and my Personal favorite was how well he transitioned between each song.
DJ-Chicago was the best DJ choice we could have made for our wedding! From the planning call with Nick to the month out meeting with Nick and our DJ Chad, everything was so organized, detailed, and you can tell these guys really know what they’re doing. DJ Chad nailed every bit of the night perfectly. He started with our ceremony music which we had shared a playlist for, and it was just what we’d hoped for. Then the cocktail hour and dinner vibe was perfect. Finally, the dance floor song choices were a perfect mix of everything- we were amazed at how many people danced the whole night and stayed until the final song! Would 10/10 recommend!!
Amazing is an understatement. Nick was awesome and made for an unforgettable evening. We couldn’t leave the dance floor because every song was a banger and we all had a blast! Everyone had so much fun and Nick really listened to the vibe we were going for and was the perfect DJ! I highly recommend! All of our guests loved him! Thank you Nick!
It’s been a week since our wedding day, and we still have friends telling us how much they love our DJ (Gil)! From the intro call to the planning call, Nick asked thoughtful questions to understand us as a couple, and he provided helpful prompts that guided us to think through the timeline and song choices. After laughing through the planning call with both Nick and Gil, we knew we were in good hands. On the wedding day, Gil arrived early to set up, worked closely with our venue (LM Studio) to keep us on track of the timeline, and checked in with us throughout the night to make sure that we know what’s happening next. He made the whole night FUN and stress-free. Gil promised that he would pack the dance floor, and he absolutely delivered! Everyone had so much fun that we ended up adding another half hour!
We highly recommend DJ-Chicago!
We had DJ Chicago DJ our Wedding a few weeks ago, and we are so glad we did! Nick made it super easy to plan, and Gil Was our DJ come the actual day. Nick gave me the idea to do a personalized playlist with our style music to be played quietly during dinner (romantic indie/alternative) so that we could have a little bit our our taste infused without making people dance to it. I loved it! Then we gave Gil free rein of what to play to make sure people were dancing- and he did! He was so awesome with reading the room to see what to choose next, and by the end of the night my guests were sad for the party to be over. I am so glad I used DJ Chicago, and I would highly recommend them for your wedding!
Gil was amazing. He knew exactly what to play and when to play it. He read the room and timed the songs we requested impeccably. We could not be happier with our experience. Thank you Gil and DJ Chicago! We had SO much fun at our wedding and our guests did too!
Stop what you’re doing and book DJ-Chicago! Our wedding was a month ago and people are still talking about the music and dancing. Nick had everyone on the dance floor from the time it opened to the time the venue closed. Nick is an incredible DJ and also did an amazing job working with my planner to manage the flow of the night. This was the best decision we made. Do yourself a favor and book ASAP!
Sam was great! He created an awesome vibe for our wedding and seamlessly navigated songs across generations.
Our daughters wedding DJ, Chad, MADE the wedding reception an amazing success. I have never been to a wedding where the dance floor was packed the entire time. Chad worked with the bride and groom in detail to pick what they wanted and then stuck to the plan exactly. Chad’s professionalism and years of experience were evident. One other thing that I’m very grateful for was that we had a transportation issue that put the time schedule a little behind BUT, Chad single -handedly made sure that the Bride and Groom were able to have the first dance that they wanted and planned for. I would highly recommend Chad for any DJ events. Thank-you!
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!
Gil was fantastic, easy to work with and very professional, and patient when we went off schedule. He also has a great smile and was a wonderful presence at our wedding. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!
Jason was amazing! He tailored the music to exactly the style we wanted and the dance floor was always full!
Cannot recommend DJ Chicago enough! Nick was our DJ and absolutely killed it the entire night. Our dance floor never stopped and our guests continually raved about the mix of classic and modern bangers he played all night long. He also continually checked in with my wife and I regarding name pronunciations, music requests, and more. If you’re looking for a professional, affordable, and outstanding DJ, look no further!
We cannot recommend DJ-Chicago enough!!! We worked with Nick and Jared (our DJ) to plan our music for our April 2022 wedding, and could not have imagined a better night of dancing. We requested specific Persian/Turkish songs and they had no problem finding all of them. Jared stuck to our must-play and do-not-play lists (the latter of which was super long!). We had a couple guests request specific music on the day-of, and Jared did a wonderful job of making a judgement call on how much/what to play. He checked in on us a couple times throughout the night. Almost every guest we talked to absolutely gushed about how great the dance floor was – literally no one left the dance floor all night! Jared was also so kind and helped get the whole party lined up for entrances and made sure he pronounced everyone’s names correctly. Jared is THE BEST!
Nick came highly recommended and he did not disappoint! He was easy to work with and made sure to understand what we wanted out of our wedding day. He nailed it as I don’t think I left the dance floor all night!
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.
Nick was absolutely fabulous! He was there for our entire wedding. He played our ceremony music, dinner music, and reception dance music. We had a small intimate wedding, yet every single person danced no matter what age. He also introduced us as a couple and got all the speeches going. Nick also has a wonderful personality and is extremely professional. He set up all his state of the art equipment early and we knew we never had to worry about our wedding music as we had a meeting one month prior to our wedding. It was also great that if he didn’t have a particular song in his music library, he got it. His song library is extensive. Our wedding was small, intimate, and old school. He knew the exact vibe we were looking for and provided it 100%. Any couple would be lucky to have DJ Chicago as their DJ. One less thing to worry about!!!
Nick was so professional and so nice the entire way through. He was always a quick phone call/text away when we had questions, gave great ideas for our wedding reception, and kept the party going! I would hire them again in a heart beat! HIGHLY recommend. Thank you Nick for making our day absolutely perfect!
Nick was so professional and it was very clear that he was eager to help us make our day special. He even coordinated with the owner of the hall we chose making it feel like a team effort! The song selections were amazing and just what my husband and I were looking for on our special day. |
THE BEST DJ! Nick was amazing. After our prep call, I felt so comfortable and excited for our wedding. Nick understood my vision and knew that the dance floor and music was a top priority. He was wonderful to work with and kept the dance floor flowing. Many guests told me it was the best playlist they’ve heard at a wedding. So happy we chose this vendor. Thank you again Nick!!!
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.

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.
Use DJ-Chicago! We’re sure glad we did!
Nick and our DJ, Chris H, we’re incredible. DJ Chicago simply knows what they’re doing. We had 3 locations we needed music for and they didn’t bat an eye. Most importantly our dance floor was packed all night, just like we wanted! I’ve already recommend them to other couples.
If I could give more stars, I absolutely would. While we worked with all amazing vendors, it was Nick and the music he played that absolutely made our wedding the best day ever. To echo what everyone else said – he is truly AMAZING! Having amazing music and an epic dance party was the top priority for our wedding and Nick delivered. Not only was he accommodating with COVID rescheduling, but he was so on top of details and logistics each time. We barely had to say a few words before he seemed to fully understand what my husband and I did, and didn’t, want for the wedding. Throughout the evening he was checking in on us, asking if we needed anything, talked us through the whole process. We even had guests comment that the audio during the ceremony was the best they’d ever heard – they said it was totally clear and easy to hear/understand everyone. Once the dance floor started – it never stopped! I honestly felt like I was at a club or bar with the quality of the music, mixes, transitions, etc. Every song was one we loved and Nick knew exactly how to read the room, hype them up, bring them down, etc. Nick even took some music references from the Best Man and Maid of Honor speeches and incorporated them. He played songs I didn’t even know I wanted to dance to, that’s how well he understood what we, and our guests, wanted. We had so many friends say how great the music was, that it was the party of the year, that it was “the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding, and they were sober”. Truly, Nick’s DJ skills made our wedding an unforgettable and incredible experience for all of us – and he’s so fun and personable!
Nick (owner of DJ Chicago) dj’d our 10/16/21 wedding at Revolution Brewing’s Brewers Lounge, and oh my goodness, what a fantastic night it was! My husband and I went to several other weddings in the months leading up to ours, and NO ONE’S had a dance floor that was as packed as ours. We were able to select so many great songs from the catalogue and Nick knew exactly what to play at exactly the right moments. He really was our master-of-ceremony too, communicating with all of toast-givers prior to their toasts and checking in with us consistently throughout the night. We would hire DJ Chicago again in a heartbeat.
