DJ Kate

Pronouns: she/her

DJ Kate cut her DJ teeth spinning records at the Rollerworld Roller Rink in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and she spent more than ten years in radio as a DJ on WIDR in Kalamazoo and WPHS in Detroit. She was the longtime co-host of Kate & Rachel's Old Style Show on WLUW in Chicago. Although Kate has a particular passion for punk, soul, and psych, her depth of knowledge and deep down love of music make her DJ sessions pop. Kate is also an avid pinball enthusiast. She plays in local leagues and tournaments and even has her own collection of machines at home. She’s also one of the founding memebers of the Chicago chapter of Belles and Chimes, a women-only league. On the rare occasion that she isn't DJing or pinballing, she enjoys playing hockey.

“Kate was INCREDIBLE!!! Not only did she have everyone on their feet all night long but she made sure to communicate with us regularly before the ceremony and throughout the evening to make sure we knew what was going on. We have gotten so many compliments on the music and are so happy with how everything turned out.”

“DJ Kate absolutely understood the assignment, read the room with ease, and kept the dance absolutely rocking. She breathed energy and life into our party. When we said, 'Our friends like to dance,' she said, 'Bet. How hard are we going??' Each song was so well timed and perfectly catered to the crowd. From the start of the ceremony, to dinner service, to warming up the dance floor, to ending on a high note. We feel so lucky to have had Kate as our DJ Extraordinaire.”

“Kate was the best! Working with her before and during the wedding was a joy. She was incredible with her song choices - every song felt perfectly placed in the night. She was really helpful and accommodating with all requests we had. We could not be happier. Thanks for keeping the dance floor moving!”
