Chris rocked our worlds!!! DJs can make or break a wedding, so going into planning we were pretty nervous about this decision. Our Coordinator recommended Toast & Jam and boy are we glad she did. From our first meeting with Chris we knew we were in good hands. He was able to effortlessly blend our wildly eclectic music tastes and hyper-specific cultural songs without batting an eye. He also smoothly MC’d the whole night. At least 50 of our guests have told us that he was the best wedding DJ they’ve ever had, so we know we are not biased!! His ability to read a crowd is unreal. The photobooth was also a huge hit. If you’re considering it, DO IT, it was a perfect keepsake for guests. We cannot recommend highly enough Chris and Toast & Jam, our wedding was a certified banger.

Damani did an exceptional job DJ’ing our wedding. When we first met, he explained how he can mix and match all genres and make sure everything blends very well. He was open to any music selection and did his absolute best to cater to the entire function, which he excelled at. Not only did he do a great job with our reception, but he also looped the entrance and ceremony music with perfection. Every single one of our requests were executed flawlessly. He pronounced all names with ease. Our guests (all 200) left beyond satisfied and continued to talk about his expertise for days. We are so happy Damani was able to DJ our wedding, we couldn’t imagine our experience without him.

DJ Alli and the team from Toast & Jam made our wedding reception a party, and we give them our very highest recommendation! Alli’s genuine interest in our vision for the reception made communicating our music selection a breeze. From first dances to toasts, she MC’d the evening seamlessly and was able to keep our guests of all ages engaged and dancing the night away! She brought just the right energy, and the music was on point the whole time. In short – great energy, thoughtful customization, low stress – what more could we have asked for?

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding DJ, Elam! From the very beginning, they took the time to consult with us on our music preferences and the vibes we wanted throughout the night. On the day of the event, Elam was prompt and professional with the setup, ensuring everything was perfect. Elam created an amazing mix for the cocktail hour and handled all the mics for toasts with professionalism. But the best part was when the dance floor opened! Elam kept the party going for hours, seamlessly weaving in all our special songs along with fantastic additions. The transitions were flawless, and they even captured a couple of videos late in the night that are really special to us. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music, and the dance floor was packed all night long! If you’re looking for a low-stress, high-fun DJ to curate your special day, we highly recommend Elam!

Working with T&J made our wedding planning process a breeze! Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, in large part due to DJ Alli’s skills and dillegence! She was thoughtful and knowledgeable, helped us think throughout the flow of the day, and helped us curate a vibe that was so personal to us. We got soooo many compliments on our music, from people all across the age spectrum and our dance floor was packed from beginning to end. Even our most reserved guests joined us under the disco ball! She helped us incorporate some really special moments through her music and emceeing. I’d hire Toast and Jam over and over again!! THANK YOU so much!

There aren’t enough words to express how absolutely wonderful it was working with Chris. From the beginning he made the entire process extremely seamless. He answered every one of our questions and was able to accommodate our special requests. On our wedding day Chris absolutely nailed it out of the park. We were so happy to get him out on the floor with us playing saxophone and creating just a fun and awesome environment. All of our guests commented on how they loved that the dance floor was never empty. We can’t thank Chris enough for his help in making our wedding day special.

We can’t thank Alli enough for being such an amazing DJ at our wedding. She truly helped make our special day unforgettable! We loved that everyone was having so much fun out on the dance floor and we received so many compliments on how the music was on point! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and are so grateful for everything she did to keep the party going. And an extra bonus — we used Toast & Jam’s package that included bistro lights and a photobooth. The lights tied the space together and were that special touch we were looking for!

Alli designed an incredible playlist for each individual moment of the wedding day. She was so much more than a DJ for us — she coordinated with other vendors, managed the timing of our schedule throughout the night, and even averted disaster by discretely stopping one of our guests from making a surprise speech! We got so many compliments on the music — Alli was just wonderful all around.

Alli from Toast & Jam was FANTASTIC! Alli made the process for selecting music for our cocktail hour, dinner service, and dance floor so easy. She brought the energy the entire night and our guests truly couldn’t stay off the dance floor! She knew exactly when to play the right songs and our dance floor was packed the entire night. Our guests can’t stop talking about how much fun they had and we cannot thank Alli enough for everything she did to make our day so wonderful. Thank you so much, Alli! :)

Alli with Toast & Jam was wonderful! The dance floor was bumping throughout the evening and every song was better than the last. We really felt she knew us and had a great sense of who we were, what we liked, what our vibe was, what was important to us, and what would make our friends & family enjoy the evening — and that was only after 2 meetings! She did a wonderful job making sure we were well informed, had the resources we and she needed to set us up for success, and worked wonderfully with the vendors to ensure the day was executed flawlessly. Thank you to Alli & Toast & Jam! It was a perfect evening which can only be said if the music is on point!
