Toast & Jam DJs & Photo Booths

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 diligence! 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. She took last minute changes like a pro, and helped us incorporate cultural traditions and music into our ceremony. 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! My only regret is that we had so many leftover late night snacks because our guests didn't want to take a break from the dance floor!

We used Toast and Jam DJs as our music vendor and photo both vendor. They were absolutely phenomenal to work with and we couldn't have asked for a more high-class company to work with for our big day! Damani was absolutely amazing to work with and he kept our dance floor packed. He really cares about his clients and respected our wishes of "keeping the dance floor packed at all time". He is a grade-A human being and is a very genuine individual. He is so respectful, caring, hard-working, and has a great attention to detail to deliver all requests my wife and I had. We can't say thank you enough to Damani for making our day so special!! The photobooth was awesome and highly recommend it!!

I’m so excited to write this review! Toast & Jam is the BEST Chicago wedding DJ!!! Toast & Jam came recommended to us by our venue, Firehouse Chicago, and after pricing vendors and our priorities–a lit dance floor and amazing MC, we went with Toast & Jam! I am so glad we did, DJ Kate was incredible to work with and she really understood us and our vision. We love music and it's a central part of our relationship so we had some must plays for different parts of the day, such as walking down the aisle to The Cure, Friday, I’m in Love for our Friday wedding. She added in music that was exactly right for the moment that would make me look over at her with a big smile and thumbs up, that is how on point she was! Our dancefloor was packed and my husband and I danced for the entire 3 hours, it was exactly what we wanted and our guest had the best time! We are so grateful to Toast & Jam for really understanding the wedding DJ skill and going above and beyond to deliver the best time and memories. Thank you DJ Kate and Toast & Jam for being a part of the best day of our lives! Photos by: Anna Jung-Hwa Photography!

We absolutely loved DJ Emily! From the very first consultation, she took the time to understand our vibe, our guests, and the exact kind of energy we wanted for the night. Toast & Jam has an awesome guest portal that let us easily communicate with Emily throughout the wedding planning process. At the wedding, the transitions were seamless, the song choices were absolutely perfect, and the way Emily read the crowd was next-level. Every generation — from our grandparents to our college friends to the little cousins — found a reason to get up and dance. What really stood out was her professionalism and passion. Emily handled all the sound cues for our ceremony and speeches flawlessly, coordinated with the venue staff and our photographer without missing a beat, and kept everything running smoothly so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Toast & Jam also handled our lights for the night and it was so easy to pick the uplights we wanted, then sit back and trust them to make it amazing. We would highly recommend this vendor!

Toast & Jam DJs were fantastic!! Mary (the owner) was awesome about helping us understand the process, finding a package that worked for us, and pairing us with the **perfect** DJ! It certainly helped that Mary and DJ Emily E were fun & easy to talk to AND were familiar with our rather weird, niche tastes in music, haha! Emily played music that perfectly fit the vibe we were going for (even outside of our playlist suggestions). Even certain well-timed touches with the lighting from the "Gig bar" helped to make special moments like our first dance even more magical! She also made sure that there was something for everyone at each phase of the event, so that guests of all ages had a great time! She was also an amazing MC, bringing just enough energy and personality without being overly involved or disrupting the mood or flow of the event. I cannot recommend them enough!

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.

T&J exceeded our expectations from start to finish. The entire planning process was well-organized and easy to access. Their attention to detail made us feel at ease every step of the way. But the real highlight of our event was our DJ, Damani! He was absolutely phenomenal. From the very first moment he started, he brought an incredible energy to our wedding that kept our guests dancing all night long. We received so many compliments about the music, with many people commenting on how smooth the transitions were between songs. Damani’s ability to read the room and adjust the vibe accordingly was nothing short of impressive. We specifically asked him to keep the party going, and he did so effortlessly, ensuring the dance floor was never empty. What truly stood out was the passion Damani has for his craft. It was clear that he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion was reflected in every beat he played. He helped make our event unforgettable, and we’re so grateful to him and to T&J for making it all come together so perfectly.

If we could give DJ Damani and the team at Toast and Jam a standing ovation every time someone asks about our wedding, we would. From the first beat to the last song, Damani didn’t just DJ our wedding — he sculpted an experience. The dance floor wasn’t just full — it was alive. Every song blended seamlessly into the next, every transition felt like it was pulled straight from our collective heartbeat, and every guest young and old lost their minds in the best possible way. The man has superpowers. He read the room like a psychic, dropped bangers like a legend, and somehow made our guests scream-sing 2000s hits and 70s soul classics in the same breath. When we thought the energy couldn’t possibly go higher, he’d mix in one more perfect track — and suddenly, there we all were, fists in the air, shouting lyrics and forgetting what sore feet even feel like. Working with Toast and Jam was equally flawless. Professional, responsive, and genuinely passionate about curating unforgettable celebrations, they made the entire process feel effortless. The planning portal was easy, communication was seamless, and they clearly know how to match couples with DJs who get it. We’ve had countless people tell us, “That was the best wedding dance floor I’ve ever seen.” And they’re right — it was. And that’s because of Damani. If you want a wedding where joy takes over the room and nobody ever wants to leave the dance floor, book Toast and Jam. And if you’re lucky enough to get Damani — prepare to have your life changed, one perfect beat at a time.
