Steve (our dj , recommend asking for him) and his crew were incredibly professional and helped us have the wedding of our dreams. They were very easy to work with during our planning phase. They arrived early at the venue to perform sound quality checks and ensured a perfect outdoor ceremony . They delivered an amazing performance for us. Many guests at the wedding complemented how well things flowed between events. Sound quality was exceptional. Literally the entire night once the dance floor opened, people were out there dancing and enjoying the night away. He was superb and we are lost for words. Overall, very impressed and just so thankful that we chose this company. Would not hesitate to choose these guys again.

My husband found Ceasar's company online. He was happy to hop on a FaceTime call with us to talk about his DJ services. We love EDM and house music and he was very knowledgable about all the music we talked about! We asked if we can make playlists for everything and it was super easy to send stuff over to him, to play during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was AWESOME at introductions and did a great job of trying to stick with our schedule and being flexible. We also got the photobooth service from him and the pictures turned out amazing!!

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.

He was really able to feel the pulse of the event & keep the party going, the dance floor was packed the whole night.

She moved to Chicago in 2011 and quickly collaborated with others who shared her love of soul and R&B music to create the familiar soulful, but unique sound of Brooke & The Nice Things. Brooke’s stage presence is surpassed only by her voice, which ranges from deep and gritty to sweet and soothing, not unlike what Brooke would tell you she will demand in her dressing room when she hits it big - whiskey and puppies…

Brooke & The Nice Things were an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From our first call, their communication style was warm, collaborative, and open-minded.

Masters of their craft, C+A's DJs specialize in turntable DJing, giving your event an authentic music experience.

My husband and I absolutely love Cage and Aquarium! We utilized them for both photography and DJ services on wedding day. As for our photographers, they were incredible in their photography skills but also in supporting us on wedding day. They helped make the day run smoothly and were efficient in coordinating things such as taking large family photos and enduring our travels around the city between the ceremony and reception. As for our DJ, he was also amazing. He kept the reception running smoothly and was so personable and professional. I couldn't have been more impressed with the music selection our DJ chose -- so many of our guests said that we had the most amount of people dancing at a wedding that they'd seen. I can't recommend C&A enough.

Considered a “Master of Genres”, he’ll make your big day a blast, regardless of your taste in music! A couple can expect a high-energy atmosphere for their wedding day! Not only will you feel the energy from DJ One Chance's fast-paced DJ style but his energy as an Emcee can be felt throughout your wedding day.

DJ One Chance absolutely exceeded our expectations at our wedding! If you are able to book him for your wedding date (or any event you need a DJ at for that matter), you are incredibly lucky. He immediately got everyone to the dance floor which was packed with people the entire reception. One of my favorite moments was our entrance to the reception. DJ One Chance hyped up the whole room so our entrance was very high energy and we were so, so happy. This man is gifted at what he does. We found him from a wedding we attended where he was the talk of the reception and that quickly translated to our wedding where yet again he was the talk of the reception for how incredible he was. DJ One Chance, THANK YOU from Steven and Sarah. You helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect and we congratulate any future couple that gets the honor of having you DJ for their wedding day.

Winner of the 2015-2019 Best Band by Make It Better Magazine, Arlen Music is recognized as the leader and trendsetter within the Chicago special event industry. Its premier band, the Ken Arlen Evolution Orchestra, has also developed a nationwide presence with performances ranging from New Year’s Eve at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, to the Presidential Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C.

We had the Front of House band from Arlen Music Productions play at our wedding in April, and they were absolutely fantastic! From professional musicians who attended, to the grandmas... everyone was ecstatic in their feedback. We had an incredible time dancing and singing all night long. The band exceeded our expectations with their surprises and delights throughout the evening. Even the sound engineers were top-notch, and we appreciated their flexibility with our (numerous) playlists during downtime. The whole group handled everything with precision and grace. David was an amazing master of ceremonies, creating a genuine connection with us and perfectly understanding how we wanted the night to unfold. His attention to detail and ability to read the crowd made the evening unforgettable. Special shoutout to the keyboardist who played our ceremony, he was phenomenal and nailed all of our requests. Thank you, Front of House band, for an unforgettable celebration. Everything was on time and on point, making for a night we'll never forget (even if parts are a bit fuzzy!).

Hi, I am DJ James. I have 20 years of DJ experience, including hundreds of weddings and other gatherings. I utilize all the latest MP3 and Lighting technology that will make your next event a big success! My main mission is to provide ultra low cost DJ & Lighting services in combination with ultra high production value to all off my clients. Many DJ's and DJ companies nickel and dime their potential clients to no end and then have the audacity to provide sub-par performance and use outdated or just plain cheap equipment. Not so with DJUj. All my equipment is updated and I always use state of the art equipment.....Yorkville, Shure, Mackie, JBL, QSC, Sony, employing backup components. There is never a charge for set up/break down, and I do welcome all of my clients to see me live if they would like. This is something many DJ's & DJ companies will not do as they do not know who they are going to send out. You always get me and only me.

Our wedding on July 29, 2023 was a blast, thanks to DJ James! He was not only a great DJ who played awesome music, but also a great MC who kept the reception running smoothly and was super fun in the process. He played jazz at a good volume during dinner and then used high energy dance music from across the decades to keep everyone on the dance floor. He was very professional, responsive, and flexible. It was so easy to work with his music selection process, and he also worked well with our other vendors to make sure everything was on track. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and MC for our special day. We highly recommend you to anyone who wants to have an amazing wedding. Thank you so much DJ James!! You rock! -Celine and John
