Last year when my now wife & I started planning our wedding in Chicago, I was researching vendors and came across Toast & Jam’s website. We had an intro call with my our DJ, Alli, to learn a bit more about T&J and their process. As we were planning a wedding in Chicago while living in California, it was important to us that our DJ be responsive, organized, and collaborative throughout the process. Alli was so friendly, helpful, & organized in our intro call that I knew we had come to the right place. Leading up to the wedding Alli was super helpful in our prep meetings from helping us align on music choices to going over every ceremony detail, from ceremony order / music / timing to name pronunciations for our wedding party. She even helped us fold in some last minute song additions we sent the day before the wedding! Day of the wedding went amazingly well — Alli was the perfect master of ceremonies, and our dance floor was sweaty and packed for 3 straight hours. Alli’s selection of music and mixing could not have been better and we received multiple comments from our guests that this was the best wedding DJ they had ever heard. Words will never do justice to how much I’d recommend Toast & Jam (and Alli) for a wedding — thank you for helping make our wedding day so special and memorable!

Where to start? Alli was a Perfect match for us after our intro call! We could tell our music taste was similar and that she’d help us rock the night away! Alli had a perfect mix of jams from start to finish and something for everyone in the crowd! We had an absolute blast with her and truly felt she made the dance floor by playing all the best songs! She ensured none of the songs on our do not play list were played and made sure our absolute favorites were! Thank you Alli for listening to us and making the dance floor electric!!!

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.

DJ Damani went above and beyond for us! He is a pro, and had everything so well prepared that the day was just that much better. He was very helpful in our meetings beforehand and understood exactly what we imagined the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception to sound like. Then the day of he continued to just go the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly and sounded great! We got so many compliments about how fun the dance floor was the entire night. He was also great working with our other vendors and communicating with us as well with any and all minor adjustments throughout the day. Anyone will be lucky to work with Damani and you will get the best dance floor you could imagine!

DJ Alli Klein made our entire wedding day so special! From our first meeting with Alli, we were so impressed by her knowledge and expertise. The music from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception was perfect and the dance floor was packed all night! Alli is super talented. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding day perfect.

Steve and I are so happy with Norah from Toast & Jam as our DJ! T&J came highly recommended, as they were the DJ for my sister and one of my friends. Norah was professional, friendly, and made sure our big day went smoothly. We even added a slide show in the last month of wedding planning, and Norah worked with my maid of honor and the hotel/union labor staff to ensure everything was flawless. We recommend Norah without any hesitation and were so glad with how our wedding turned out!

DJ Alli Klein and the Toast & Jam team made our wedding the best party I’ve ever been to, hands down. Also the best party 99% of our guests have ever been to. From the start, we felt Alli completely understood our taste in music and vision for our wedding, from cocktail to dinner to dance party. With some weird requests on our end (Morrissey, The Mountain Goats, British punk), we worried we couldn’t reconcile our taste in music with tunes that would keep the party going. Alli proved us wrong! She managed to include ALL of our faves in a perfectly timed and organic way. Any artist we couldn’t boogie to was included in other parts of our reception. As the bride, I was on the dancefloor without a break for 2 hours straight. It was banger after banger. I will recommend Toast & Jam again and again, but ESPECIALLY Alli. Thank you!!

We couldn’t have asked for more from Chris S. at Toast and Jam as our wedding DJ. From the first meeting through the end of the evening, he did fantastic. He helped us figure out the sound for each part of the evening, was already familiar with our venue, and made sure everyone had a great time. We loved the music; there was great variety and his song choices were accessible to people with a variety of tastes without ever being cliché or overplayed. There were always people dancing and he transitioned what was playing from one point in the evening to another seamlessly. Also, the sound levels were good, Chris perfectly hit the sweet spot where you could hear the music from the bar but it never blew out your ears or made you have to shout over it. His relaxed but professional, confident, and expert attitude were great additions to our team of vendors and helped us feel at ease.
Mary and Mitch
We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding reception. Throughout the entire process, we were impressed with the professionalism of Toast and Jam, which definitely helped ease our stress in the planning process. We worked closely with Mary and we always felt like we were in good hands. She 100% helped create a fun atmosphere for us and our guests. We will definitely be recommending Toast and Jam to anyone we know planning a wedding or event.

DJ Alli was incredible! Music was really important to us, and Alli did a fantastic job listening to our wishes in our meetings early on to plan for the night. She played great music and the dance floor was packed all night long. People kept telling us how amazing our DJ did and every song was loved by the crowd. Alli also handled announcing our audio guest book for us and coordinating the speeches. Our parents also loved all of Alli’s songs. We would recommend Toast & Jam and DJ Alli to anyone!
