My daughter hired 3rd Shift Djs for her wedding 5/16/25. Not only did Alex act as Dj he also was the officiant, provided sound and lighting and even had a 2 person instrumental perform for guests as well as play special selections for the bridal party and bride as they were escorted down the aisle.

I don’t know where to start with Dillon and Electric Sugar…. They were incredible. Plain and simple. I worked with Dillon leading up to wedding weekend and he was kind, prompt, professional, and fun. We worked together to create a set list that was perfect for our taste in music. Dillon also played guitar at our ceremony and it was beautiful. He did a combo of guitar and prerecorded music per our request and it was perfect. He brought all the equipment needed for our officiant to have a microphone as well. The Electric Sugar band as a whole played for our reception. We had them for 3 hours and the dance floor was packed for 3 hours. They were so much fun and SO talented!!! It was the best party and they were a huge reason behind it! I would recommend them to anyone for their wedding or any other occasion they are looking to add spice and energy too. If we ever host another event where music is needed I would book them in a heartbeat

We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with John at Chicago Top DJ for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the beginning, John was professional, personable, and really took into account our vision for the day. He was so easy to work with and made our reception unforgettable. The planning process was seamless. John took the time to meet with us beforehand to understand our preferences and what vibe we were going for. He helped us curate the perfect playlist, blending our favorite songs with crowd-pleasers that got everyone on the dance floor. He even took note what songs we wanted to avoid and he made sure not to play them. On the big day, John was amazing. His charisma and energy were infectious. He read the room and played exactly what the crowd needed over the course of the night. From the cocktail hour to the last song, the music was spot-on. He perfectly balanced the mood, starting with more relaxed tunes and gradually building to a high-energy party that had everyone, young and old, dancing until the very end. John interacted with the crowd, hyped people up, and created an amazing atmosphere. He had great transitions and timing for announcements. We didn’t worry about a thing during the reception, he took care of keeping track of the timeline and made everything stress-free so we really could just enjoy. We and our guests had an incredible time dancing the night away. It was exactly what we wanted. John went above and beyond to make our wedding day special, and we’ll be forever grateful for the memories he helped us create. We could not recommend him enough, he knows how to throw an unforgettable party.

Nicky Avalo Studios is AMAZING. DJ Redd kept the dance floor filled all night long. I was one of the crazy brides who had a veryyyyy long must play list and he did a great job at playing the songs that kept people singing & dancing. From the very start, it was such an easy process!! Nicky was so so helpful. I filled out the document and everything I asked for was done. Before the wedding, I had actual nightmares about who would DJ my wedding (no idea why… just mustve been what I was most nervous for?! LOL) and WOW those nightmares were all wrong. DJ Redd is the best & even joined us on the dance floor! Seriously I cant say enough good things. I told Nicky about the nightmares I had & he went above & beyond & showed up to our wedding to say hey which just made it even more special.

Toast & Jam DJs specialize in making people dance by working closely with our clients to create customized playlists that reflect their tastes. We reject line dances, props, and other gimmicks in favor of perfectly planned and well-timed soundtracks that appeal to every partygoer. That means no Hokey Pokey and no Chicken Dance. At Toast & Jam, we believe that a thoughtful mix of pop favorites, hip-hop bootyshakers, Motown classics, and timeless standards are fun and self-respecting alternative to those embarrassing and played-out dancefloor clichés.

DJ Fredrick from Toast and Jam kept the dance floor bumping and flowing all night long. He was a great MC for all things and kept the party in line with our timeline. He went above and beyond ahead of the event to make sure the playlist fit perfectly for our wedding. He worked with us to add the Arab Wedding songs to keep all the aunties happy.

I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.

(I always knew that I wanted a DJ compared to a band just because of personal preference of the type of music we like.) Al hosted multiple calls us, was a phone call away with any questions, and then even attended our final walk through to determine speaker locations and overall plan. Leading up to our wedding at the Chicago History Museum, we felt confident that Okyne would execute our vision and they most certainly did. DJ Alan came dressed to impressed to our black tie wedding and was professional, yet such a fun DJ! All of our must haves were played ( any songs from our do not play list were not played haha) and played right on time. (Timing is everything!!) I highly recommend Okyne Media Lab!!

Drew was one of the highlights of our wedding! He brought such a sense of calm to our day. He is a DJ that is there for you; it is YOUR day with Drew which I can't emphesis enough.

Funktastic Productions Llc. was an absolute hit at our wedding! From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, friendly, and super detailed - they clearly cared about making our day perfect. And that's exactly what they delivered. I chose to have live piano and violin at my ceremony and they sounded beautiful together. They played every song I requested with depth and precision- even the fairly new music (I requested Birds of a Feather for the recessional, and they NAILED it!) They provided mics to the musicians and the officiant stand, which ended up being a lifesaver for us. The DJ and violinist were both fun and talented, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. DJ Servaun in particular did an amazing job matching the vibes, emceeing, and balancing in the moment song requests with a killer playlist. Get the DJ with Musician accompaniment package!! The electric violin player lit up the dance floor & guests LOVED it! Quote: “Best wedding I’ve ever been to! I’ve never been to a wedding where ‘Not Like Us’ got a violin accompaniment”. I also used Funktastic for our photobooth service and it was one of the most popular parts of the wedding. People lined up at one point to take pics- and I was thrilled with the quality of the designs and service. Funktastic Productions provided incredible value and high quality entertainment that made our wedding celebration truly unforgettable. We can't recommend them enough!

These guys were amazing. My husband, dad and many other people who attended the wedding and are all musicians were so impressed and guests in general keep messaging me saying how great they were! Cannot recommend them enough. I was so excited too because they ended up playing a Sammy Rae song off the playlist I sent them (one of my favorite artists). We had a few of them play our ceremony too and as soon as heard them play something by the Beatles I immediately started tearing up.

He has a great app to select music and does great mixing for flawless transitions. We also asked him to mix/cut our parent dance and first dance music and that was not a problem for him. Not to mention he is a fantastic MC and really knows how to work a crowd. He also works great with the planning team to coordinate the announcements for speeches, dances, etc. He is really personable and gets to know your style and vision.

You can stop your search right now, Todd is the DJ you need. After our initial call with him to packing up for the night, Todd did everything right and exceeded our expectations. He was incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and transparent about his services and pricing. Our wedding was a small, 50-person event with both indoor and outdoor spaces in River North and it included a terrace for the ceremony. Todd handled that perfectly, providing a seamless sound system for both areas, along with a mic/stand for our vows and an ear piece mic for the officiant. His setup was clean, organized and fit into the space beautifully. On the wedding day, we were running a bit flustered from photos when we arrived to the event space worried if everything was setup. We had not had a chance to meet Todd before the ceremony but once we arrived, Todd immediately put us at ease. He was already set up, dressed well, and greeted us in a warm, professional manner. He guided us through every moment of the night, from announcements to the first dances and cake cutting. It was a huge relief for the day. One of our biggest fears was that people may not dance much, especially with guests from different backgrounds. But Todd was exceptional at reading the room and getting the party started. He had excellent music selection and judgment. We gave him a small list of about 25 songs, including some Albanian and Russian ones. He knew exactly when to play them, and our guests were on the dance floor until midnight and the night was never dull. Time flew by so fast we didn’t even use our phones all night long, we wish we had a few photos with Todd. We received so many compliments on how much fun the DJ made the night. If you want a DJ who is professional, a great communicator, and an expert at keeping the energy high, Todd is your guy. He provided a level of service we didn't even know we needed.

His attention to detail during the planning process was remarkable, as he took the time to understand our preferences, musical taste, and the overall atmosphere we wanted to create for our special day. One of the highlights of Matt's performance was his ability to read the crowd and adapt the music accordingly. He skillfully curated a playlist that appealed to guests of all ages, ensuring that the dance floor was never empty. Matt seamlessly transitioned between genres, creating a dynamic and energetic atmosphere that kept the celebration alive. Beyond his musical prowess, Matt's charisma and engaging personality added an extra layer of joy to the event. He interacted with our guests, taking requests and accommodating special dedications, making everyone feel included and contributing to the overall festive mood. The quality of the sound and lighting equipment provided by Clik Entertainment was top-notch, contributing to the overall immersive experience. Matt's expertise in managing the technical aspects of the performance ensured a smooth and seamless production. I wholeheartedly recommend Clik Entertainment for any event requiring exceptional musical entertainment. Their passion for their craft, attention to detail, and ability to connect with the audience make them a standout company. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him, and I am sincerely grateful for the joy and memories he helped create on our special day.

MeroMusic LLC

  • DJ
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

Hey! I'm Andres, the owner and DJ behind Mero Music. I was born and raised in Chicago with Colombian roots, so I bring a unique blend of cultural flair and big-city energy to every event. As a bilingual DJ (Spanish & English), I seamlessly bridge the gap between cultures through music, creating a dynamic atmosphere that speaks to everyone on the dance floor. Unlike larger companies, I handle everything personally—from initial consultations to wedding planning and being your DJ and MC on your special day. This ensures you receive dedicated attention and a tailored experience.

We had the best experience with Andres at our anniversary party! From the beginning, he was so professional, easy to communicate with, and really understood the vibe we wanted for the night. We booked him without much anticipation, but he made everything so easy and guided us through all we needed to know. Our biggest concern was having more than 130 guests of different ages and nationalities, but he read the dance floor perfectly and kept everyone dancing, seamlessly mixing Latin and American music! We know everyone had a great time because so many people complimented the music. He also provided the photo booth, which was a huge hit! We got to choose and customize the photo design and backdrop, and on the day of the event, the setup looked amazing. His assistant did a great job too, the photo quality was excellent, and everyone had so much fun taking pictures. Plus, he sent us all the digital versions afterward! If you’re looking for someone who brings energy, excellent organization skills, and amazing music to your event, Andres is the one! Highly recommend him for any celebration.
