We can’t thank Dena and Toast & Jam enough for helping to make our wedding day unforgettable. Dena was friendly, funny and most importantly, an incredible DJ. She kept the dance floor packed the entire reception and even got a hug from one of our guests at the end of the night! We couldn’t have asked for a better party. Thanks again!

Joy! That is what Toast and Jam deliver. Choosing Toast and Jam was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding. Our friends and family come from around the world and across all walks of life. Somehow, our DJ Erica made the music move everyone. They are a stellar company with class, taste and talent!”

Bryan and I loved your work at our wedding! I felt like we didn’t give you that much guidance as far as what to play but all the songs that you played were awesome. I felt that all speeches and announcements were very smooth and professional. We also loved how you were able to get the whole crowd moving to the dance floor after dinner. Everyone was out dancing! And then later on in the evening after the early crowd left, the party completely got a second wind as the dance floor turned into an awesome dance party. There was soo much energy and everyone was chanting for another song when the night was over. That’s exactly how every bride wants her wedding to end and I felt that it probably wouldn’t have happened without you! Thanks!

Toast and Jam Rocks. We had DJ Emily and she was a total pleasure to work with. I could not believe how many of our friends and family stayed until the very end of the reception and the dance floor was packed. Emily met with us and had phone conversations with us multiple times to make sure that she understood the style of music we wanted for cocktail hour, dinner and reception. And she hit the nail right on the head. She did not play one song that I didn’t like, and I can’t think of any songs that I would rather have had played. Toast and Jam is a phenomenal group to work with. Bravo, ladies!

Seriously, we heard from so many people who said they had never had so much fun at a wedding before, because they were dancing to the ridiculously great music the whole night. And besides the music, it was the pacing and the tone you helped us set that really added up to a fantastic night. You totally understood the type of music we were hoping for, and clearly knew exactly how to keep the party going! Not to mention the way you handled all of our last minute schedule changes, indecision, and general lack of organization :). I felt like we were in such good hands for the evening that I never really worried about it at all — which I think is probably a good way to sum up why I would recommend you and the whole Toast & Jam team to anyone and everyone.

Emily A. was a great DJ who helped us think through reception logistics that we would not otherwise have. Emily’s emcee-ing was a huge reason our reception ran smooth and we were able to enjoy the party. Thank you Emily for being part of our day and your cross-country communication throughout our wedding planning! We appreciate everything you did.

Karin and her phenomenal DJ talents made an impressive impact on our wedding day! We were initially impressed with Karin’s ease and low stress approach as we planned the party. On the special day, Karin packed a powerful punch to her music playlists. She incorporated all of our favorite genres and bands, while keeping the dance floor jammed. We received countless compliments throughout the night from family and friends too! People literally danced the entire night! We could not have asked for a better DJ in making our day most memorable. Thank you Karin for generating a nonstop musical marathon of fun!

A big thank you to Karin and Toast & Jam for making our wedding reception so much fun and for making the planning process so easy! Karin did a phenomenal job with our specific/vague requests – like, “Play x song, but whenever you think it would be best.” Beyond that, we didn’t give her much direction, but she managed to capture our wide-range of taste in music from the cocktail hour to dinner and through the last dance. We didn’t want to leave the dance floor the entire night, and we didn’t have to because ALL of our guests joined us out there. Thank you, Karin…it was a joy to have you as part of our big day!

Wow, where to begin! Toast and Jam was highly recommended to me by a family friend. I am so glad we followed that recommendation, because that’s how we met Karin. Karin was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she was professional yet fun to work with. We live 3 hours outside of Chicago, and she was very willing to meet on a weekend to accommodate our busy schedule. She replied in a timely matter to every email I sent her, and even went above and beyond giving us many song choices when we were unsure. Everybody was on the dance floor all night, and several guests have told me it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding. She was my favorite vendor that I worked with! Thank you so much Karin for making our wedding truly amazing!
