DJ Matt ROAN

Matt is the BEST! He is super responsive and wants to create the best party for his couples! A client at Celebrait by Kait booked him for multiple sets and he was nimble and flexible with it all. This included a ceremony in the woods, dinner in the orchard, and dancing on the patio. He has great energy too. As a Wedding Planner I highly highly recommend him!!!

Matt was great at keeping the energy up throughout the wedding and getting people out on the dance floor! He really listened to what we wanted and our requests while also being able to provide suggestions and playlists for parts of the wedding we were unsure about. I even had future brides inquiring about him for their weddings. Definitely recommend!

Matt was absolutely fantastic at our wedding! His eclectic taste in music, spanning everything from the 70s, 90s, and up to today’s hits, kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. He really knew how to read the crowd and mix genres seamlessly, which made for an unforgettable evening of fun and dancing!

We couldn't have asked for better with Matt!!! Our night was made complete with his amazing music choices and energy he brought to our reception. He also made everything so easy in all of the months leading up to the big day. You definitely need DJ Matt Roan at any event.

DJ Matt ROAN was the absolute best DJ we could have asked for. We had heard amazing things about his energy and talent, but experiencing it firsthand on our special day was nothing short of magical. From the moment we met him, it was clear he genuinely cared about us as a couple and was committed to making our celebration perfect. He masterfully mixed our first dance song and kept the dance floor packed all night, reading the crowd and creating the perfect atmosphere. Beyond his incredible skills, he sent us our entire playlist afterward, allowing us to relive our favorite day whenever we want. Music was such a crucial part of our celebration, and DJ Matt ROAN exceeded every expectation. We couldn’t recommend him enough—he truly made our day unforgettable!

Within the first 2 minutes of chatting with Matt, we knew he fit our vibe perfectly. We were incredibly particular about not hiring a standard wedding DJ known for playing line dances & old school music. Matt was extremely communicative, detail oriented, and beyond accommodating with specific requests we had. He sent us a questionnaire roughly 6 weeks out to cover off on our must play songs, favorite artists, “do-not” plays, entrance songs, etc. He even sent us a dinner playlist for us to review to ensure it matched what we envisioned for our dinner music. When I say he over delivered, I mean that wholeheartedly. Our dance floor was packed all night long and we received so many compliments on our music. The cherry on the sundae is that Matt provided us with a playlist of all of the songs he played during our reception so that we can relive the evening for years to come. If Matt Roan is available on your wedding date - BOOK HIM! You won’t regret it. To the ultimate vibe curator & party starter - Thank you for everything, Matt!

All we have to say is WOW. Mark and I want to say the biggest thank you to Matt for his superb DJing at our wedding on September 1st, 2024!! The level of professionalism that Matt delivered from start to finish from the beginning of the planning process to the very end of the wedding day was truly so reassuring. The dance floor was absolutely LIT thanks to him!! Our guests are still raving about how amazing he was… Music is a huge part of our lives and the care, thought and passion he put into curating music magic for us made the entire day so special and memorable. Mark and I are so grateful and will most definitely be recommending him to all of our friends for future weddings!!

YOU MUST HIRE MATT!!! I do a lot of work events and he is the BEST DJ I've ever worked with!!! Matt was personable, fun, and had out dance floor moving and grooving all night! I gave him some songs that we wanted played and he mixed them perfectly! Somehow he mixed in some of our favorite songs that we didn't even request. He's just that good! My husband and I love dancing but we weren't sure if our families would be on the dance floor long with Matt as our DJ the dance floor was jam packed!

We couldn't have picked a better DJ for our disco-themed after party. Matt was incredibly easy to work with, listened to us throughout the process and kept everyone on the dance floor with some epic mixes. I couldn't recommend him more and I'm so excited he's doing our friends wedding too so we can hang out with him again.

DJ Matt is the f****** man!! I wish we could hire him for every party we ever plan. On the spectrum of cost, he is a little pricier, but WORTH EVERY PENNY! He asked our preferences, understood exactly what we wanted, and DELIVERED! From our first dance to the end of the night (about three hours), the dance floor was absolutely PACKED! We honestly thought we were going to break the floor from so many people moving and grooving. I can't say enough good things about Matt and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

We have nothing but amazing things to say about DJ Matt Roan!! He is the best in town! Matt DJ’d our wedding back in August and captured the vibe that we wanted perfectly. There were no dead moments on the dance floor from our first dance to the last song. Every transition and mix was seamless and fun. Matt is also a great guy. He is very personable, and easy to work with. We wish we had more parties to throw to have Matt as our DJ! We’d recommend him to everyone! - Jack and Morgan

Matt was all time! So responsive, very professional, and so easy to work with. We had several location changes during the wedding (2 different dance floors and a ceremony in a different location) and he set it all up to have impeccable audio and vibes. He took all of our music recommendations and through in some bangers of his own. He also put together a pop-punk mix that should go be in the rock and roll hall of fame. 10/10 would hire again

Our guests are still talking about our music!! Matt Roan was really great to work with leading up to our wedding and the day-of. Lots of communication beforehand and really made us feel like our opinions were being heard in the construction of a wedding playlist. And he mixed our first-dance songs up perfectly to fit into our ideal lengths for our wedding. All in all, the planning and communication leading up to the wedding was fantastic. Even better was the day of! Matt has a great energy about him to encourage people out onto the dance floor and struck up great conversations with us and guests in between his sets. Matt really made it feel like he was a part of our wedding in its entirety rather than someone who just showed up to play music and leave. Would highly recommend Matt at your upcoming event or wedding!

This guy right here is the DJ you’re looking for. Booking Matt Roan is one of the best decisions we made in regards to our wedding. Matt was the first DJ recommended to us by our wedding planner and we are so very glad that she told us about him! He is the coolest guy and incredibly easy to work with. After our first meeting with him we knew right away that he was going to throw us a party for the ages. We threw so many different kinds of music that we like at Matt and he seamlessly put together a mix that kept the dance floor packed the entire night. We wanted to make sure all guests heard something they liked, while avoiding the wedding songs you typically hear. Our wedding guests were raving about the music that night and telling us that we had the best wedding DJ they’ve ever heard. We had an absolute blast at our wedding because of Matt Roan. My wife worked with Matt behind my back to call me up to the DJ booth and have me (pretend) DJ to two of my favorite songs and the guests on the dance floor went absolutely crazy. He was so easy going and immediately on board with the idea, I’ll never forget that moment! We can’t stress enough that you NEED to have Matt Roan DJ your wedding. You won’t regret it, your wedding guests will be dancing all night, and you will have the most fun on the biggest day of your life. Matt, you’re the GOAT wedding DJ and we will never forget how much fun we all had at our wedding because of you! Thank you so much! Book this man now!

Matt was a fantastic DJ for our wedding. Music-wise, he was fully committed to understanding our taste and matching that, rather than doing his own thing. We also appreciated how he took our guidance as inspiration but then built off of that. And, beyond the music itself, he handled all of our audio needs capably and professionally (ceremony audio, microphones for speeches, etc.). We would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ.

DJ Matt threw us the best party imaginable, and we have received innumerable rave reviews about him from our guests. Throughout the planning process, Matt was extremely responsive, accommodating, and personable. He seemed to have a way of knowing what music we wanted even better than we did. We danced the entire time, and our guests said things like "Your DJ is so good," or "We danced so much more than expected!" Matt did the best job and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

DJ Matt Roan is one of the best DJ’s in the Chicagoland area and BEYOND. As soon as we met him for our in-person venue walk through, we knew he was going to be good. We shared the kind of music we envisioned for the wedding and right away we were on the same page. We wanted to have a mix of new and old songs so all ages would enjoy the music. Our dance floor was PACKED the whole night! I hoped people would dance the whole time, as sometimes you go to weddings and no one is dancing, but we didn’t have this problem with Matt! He has an eye for gauging the crowd and playing songs that keep everyone going on the dance floor. A true testament to Matt’s DJ ability is seeing my uncle on the dance floor. I couldn’t believe it! I have never seen my uncle dance and my aunt is always upset that she is not able to get him to dance. He danced the night away until the wedding was over. This was a highlight for me! We also had kids at the wedding and one of the kids was having a ball on the dance floor and told his dad, “This is the best night of my life!” DJ Matt truly plays beats for all ages! One of our guests also recognized Matt because he and his wife used to follow Matt around Chicago to listen to him when he was DJing at Chicago clubs. Matt is highly reputable and very well known in the Chicago area. He still DJs at some of the hottest clubs in Chicago, which is something we were excited about when choosing Matt as a DJ. Leading up to the wedding he was very EASY to work with and was very responsive to emails. Before the wedding, we filled out a questionnaire so he could understand the kind of music we would like played. We also made a list of songs/artists that we like. He hit a homerun in the music and vibe we hoped for at the reception! We also had a couple of special requests, and he was more than happy to accommodate and make it the reception we envisioned. For example, we had a QR code and let the guests vote on the first song to open the dance floor. Matt helped us with recommendations for songs that would be good to open the dance floor with. We also played two German polka songs during the reception for my grandma so she could have the opportunity to dance. I sent Matt the link to these songs on YouTube and he had no problem working it into the reception. My maid of honor also had a special request and wanted a song played during her speech. I connected her with Matt via email and again he was so accommodating and made it happen! Matt also edited the father/bride dance and mother/groom dance to shorten the songs. He edited the songs perfectly. He would have edited our first dance song, but since we took dance lessons the studio edited the song for our choregraphed dance. Lastly, one of the best parts of working with Matt is receiving the ENTIRE playlist after the wedding! We are able to listen to the playlist and relive the night for the rest of our lives. This was such a nice touch and the cherry on top of the cake working with Matt. Overall, we highly recommend DJ Matt Roan. You will be in good hands hiring him as your DJ and you will not be disappointed!

If you are looking for a Chicago wedding DJ...look no further! DJ Matt Roan brings such a cool, fun and positive vibe that instantly puts a smile on your face. He was very receptive to my many requests and curated the perfect wedding playlist. He was also super professional and easy to communicate with. 100% recommend!

WE LOVED DJ MATT ROAN and 100% recommend hiring him. Matt did everything from pre-ceremony music to the very last reception song, including cocktail hour, announcing toasts and dances, and an epic dance floor that was fun for all ages. Matt was hands-off (i.e. not needy, very easy going) and very responsive to emails in the weeks leading up to the wedding. There were several songs we couldn't decide on and deferred to his judgment (i.e. what to play when bride and groom are announced at the reception, what to play during dinner, etc.) and it was all perfect. We've received tons of compliments on "our DJ" from friends and family. 10/10!

Matt did an amazing job DJ'ing our wedding and was awesome to work with. From our first reach out to the wedding, he was very responsive, collaborative and so easy to work with!

DJ Matt Roan was excellent as our wedding DJ. He was a professional from start to finish. We had multiple locations that needed his services, and everything from the ceremony, to the reception was handled flawlessly. His personality and vibe were great for our event. He was organized, communicated well and we never had to worry about a thing when it came to the music. We highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a DJ for a wedding or any other event.

Matt was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process and during the wedding. He was professional but also approachable and collaborative as we were building our playlist and going through our wedding day logistics. At our wedding, he did a great job of setting the vibe for each point of the evening and had all of our guests on the dancefloor by the end of the night. He can expertly read a crowd and know what people want to hear, which was very much appreciated. I've already recommended Matt to a few of my friends for their wedding so I'm hoping I get the chance to be at a reception he's DJ'ing again!

oh my, where do I begin? Matt is THE best DJ in all of the land. Truly. He isn't your typical wedding DJ - he mixes and moves to whatever your personal taste is and brings the club to your wedding. He listens and cares. I cannot recommend him enough. He is also the nicest guy, and a delight to work with and be around. I am bringing him along for every event I will plan in the future!

Start to finish, the experience we had with Matt as our wedding DJ was fantastic. From our first conversation, it was clear we'd found the right guy. Matt came recommended after doing an acquaintance's wedding, and it was easy to see why. The communication aspect of the process was excellent all the way through. Matt was patient about my (way-too-precious) approach to our must-play list, helped trim certain songs to fit our plans, and threw out some really fun suggestions that easily fit into the vibe we were shooting for. On the night of, Matt quite simply brought the house down for 3.5 straight hours. He seamlessly wove the playlists we'd sent along into other songs perfectly suited for what we wanted, including some transitions that inspired audible reactions from some of our more music-loving guests. He knew the right songs to play when, and knew exactly how much room to let each one breathe. Everything what you'd want from a great wedding DJ tasked with curating how your party is supposed to feel. I'd spent a long time thinking about and planning what I wanted the music at my wedding to feel like (probably too much, honestly.) And Matt's final version was better than anything I could have hoped for. He helped make the biggest party we'll ever throw into the party we envisioned. If you can, hire this guy as your wedding DJ. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Matt is the best wedding DJ in Chicago, hands down. If music is important to you and typical wedding DJ's and playlist give you the ick, Matt is absolutely the DJ for you. I can't tell you how many compliments we received on our music and our dance floor, something that was incredibly important to me. A note from a friend just today, nearly three weeks after our wedding: "Thank you for including us in your celebration with the finest wedding playlist in the northern hemisphere." Please hire Matt, and also please invite me so I can appreciate his work again!

BLOWN. AWAY. Matt did our wedding ceremony and reception on 3/4/23 and I am still not over it! Matt was an absolute dream to work with. Leading up to the big day, he was so quick to respond to messages and even helped us edit our first dance song to the perfect length. He also handled our ceremony music and made each part flow into the next seamlessly. As the bride, I also loved getting a thumbs up and a smile as I headed down the aisle! We filled out a questionnaire with some random songs we liked but Matt made them all better by mixing them all together perfectly to create the perfect flow and vibe. The vibe felt like us, but in a much cooler way that we could never have put together on our own. We have been bragging about him nonstop since literally every single guest has commented on how amazing he was. Many of them (including us) have plans to catch him at an upcoming show!! Matt is pure class, talent and a hell of a good time. I am so grateful to him for making our night so much fun!

Have you ever tried to explain great music? Seems like a simple enough task, but when you actually try to explain what's so great, it proves to be impossible. You might as well kick back and just play the damn song to get the full experience because NOTHING compares. That’s the best analogy I can give when trying to write a review about Matt Roan. Sure I could go on and on about how he’s the rare combination of intuition and experience, style and humility, kindness and confidence…. But that’s still selling Matt short. You have to have had the Matt Roan experience to catch my drift. He is by far one of the best DJ’s we’ve ever worked with, and that’s over 250 people considering my husband and I have been wedding photographers and videographers for 10 years. His professionalism and organization is outstanding. His curation to his clients is impeccable. He makes the most fun part of weddings even MORE exhilarating. And he’s got killer taste, in fashion and, more importantly, in music. Matt is, by far, the best decision we made for our destination wedding in Kauai. Everyone still talks about our dance floor and I give Matt 100% of the credit. We knew he was good, in fact, throughout wedding planning I referred to Matt as our secret weapon, but all 140 guests were BLOWN AWAY by Matt’s joyous nature, sick beats, and dare I say ‘great vibes.’ Even my austere, 83-year-old, Japanese grandmother who makes everyone WORK for even the tiniest compliment said the Dj was her favorite part of the wedding. “He just was smiling the whole time, having a blast.” If Matt can win over the matriarch of my family, he can win over anyone. He’s an ingenious music man, but also a tremendously charismatic and positive MC, which is an often overlooked attribute in a great DJ. Hire Matt and join me in my rhapsodizing, or forever regret it and refer to him as, “The one that got away…”

Matt is OUTSTANDING. We had him for our November 2022 wedding and without a doubt he was the best vendor we hired. He is very cool and brings a vibe that is unique and stand out . We danced all night long and he's such a talented DJ and isn't just playing songs off a list. The flow, the edits, everything was perfect.

Let's face it, wedding planning can be STRESSFUL. You're thrown into this entirely foreign process dealing with budgets, timelines and vendors, just hoping that the people you hire know what they're doing. Well let me tell you, Matt Roan KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING. Matt was an absolute joy to work with during our planning process. He was insightful, experienced, and an actual nice human being. Knowing we had a million things to account for, my husband and I knew music was something that we did not have to worry about. Matt gave us the comfort and confidence in knowing that we were in good hands and he would take care of everything. And I will say, he most certainly did. By the time of our big day, Matt was there ready to get the party going. From getting us mic'd up for our ceremony, to MC-ing throughout dinner, to then owning the dance floor during our reception — Matt brought it all. His remixes, transitions and music selections were exactly what my husband and I wanted. Our wedding turned nightclub kept everyone on the dance floor until our venue had to throw us out. And now, 6 months later, people are still commenting on how great the music was. So if you're looking to "drop it like it's hot" for your wedding, you have to talk to Matt. He absolutely will not disappoint and you'll truly end up with a night you will never forget.

"You're DJ at the reception was INCREDIBLE." "It was absolutely crazy how everyone immediately got on the dance floor." "I've never been to a wedding where every song was a hit." These are just a handful of comments we recieved about DJ Matt and we couldn't agree more. Matt was intuative, professional, and all together extremely easy to work with. The records he chose not only reflected our taste, but showed a depth of cultural knowledge that made the dance floor accessible for everyone. Could not recommend Matt enough!

Matt was the absolute best to work with throughout the entire process of hiring him. He was communicative and professional while we planned all of the logistics and details, but he was also exceptionally fun and personable which was very infectious on the day of the actual party! He was able to roll with our unconventional reception format, and the dance party that we ended the night with was memorable enough for the guests that they've still been bringing it up months later. If you're lucky enough to book Matt for your wedding, you are guaranteed to have a very fun time! <3

Let's just say Matt understood the assignment. One of the most (if not the most) important aspects of our wedding was the music and there was really no question who to hire. I've heard Matt DJ at many events before and I've always known I wanted him to DJ my wedding one day. He did not disappoint! Played everything we wanted to hear and more. Besides the music itself, he really just knows how to get the party going. If you're not hiring Matt Roan as you're DJ you are missing out.

This will make me sound like an ass, but I truly did not understand what skill goes into being a DJ before working with Matt. Not only did Matt take the time to get to know both my husband's and my personal musical tastes, he took our favorite songs and requests and spun them together in a perfect way. He read the room and the dance floor and kept everyone there. Matt set the vibe for our dance party wedding and I loved every minute of it!

Matt made our wedding after party an absolute blast. He tailored the playlist perfectly to our taste and kept the dance floor packed. His pricing was incredibly reasonable and I’d have paid way more for what he delivered. I’d absolutely recommend Matt for any event.

Matt was awesome! Amazing musical taste, super friendly and transparent, and extremely responsive both ahead of time and at our wedding itself. He also successfully mixed ABBA with trap music, which was impressive to say the least!

Matt is the best ever! Truly one of the easiest people to work with throughout our entire wedding process. Matt was positive, enthusiastic, and made you feel heard/seen. It really comes across that he wants your special day to be perfect and I appreciate his expertise. Not to mention, I can't even count the number of compliments we received from our guests about Matt. Everyone had so much fun and he perfectly captured the vibe we were going for. Thank you for making our night so perfect!

Pete and I are 4 days out from being officially MARRIED and I am still buzzing about the amazing experience we had with Matt. HE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Every conversation with him pre wedding felt like we had known him for years making it so easy to trust him with our special day. He really delivered on all the requests we had and fended off the crazy groomen (my brother) requesting a polka dance at our raging after-party (sorry about that). He was able to edit to perfection our ceremony music that came from the Pride & Prejudice soundtrack to accomedate over 20+ bridal party attandents. Additionally, he shortened one of the longest Father Daughter dance songs "Butterfly Kisses" keeping the importance of the message of the song so special for my Dad and I. SERIOUSLY - thank you for throwing in some absolute bangers - Pete and I can't wait to see you soon at Slippery Slope <3

DJ Matt Roan…. I can’t say it enough, Matt made our wedding. You could spend all the money in the world on florals and decor but if you don’t have the right vibes your dance floor will feel it. Matt absolutely brought it. We were very specific about our “no play” list and really wanted to be sure we had the right songs playing all night. Matt was creative with suggestions, amazing with our dance cuts, and knew exactly what to do to keep the party thriving. We had his service from ceremony start to last song of the night and it’s one of the best decisions we made for our day. Friends and fam complimented the vibes and music of our day over and over again and I’d book him again in a blink. Cheers!

Matt was an incredible DJ and made our wedding day SO FUN! He played music that all generations were able to appreciate. Everyone was on the dance floor and had an absolute blast! So many guests came up to us and gave us compliments on what a great job he did. I would 10000% recommend Matt to anyone looking for a DJ. The day wouldn't have been the same without him!

We can't say enough about how awesome it was to work with Matt for our wedding! He made the whole process fun, easy, and seamless. He is incredibly laid back and easy to work with while at the same time being efficient, organized, and on top of his game. We had the headache of rescheduling due to COVID and Matt's "no worries" approach to changing dates with no fees or hassle was a breath of fresh air. He nailed the vibe we wanted for our wedding and EVERYONE had a blast dancing. He has excellent style, taste, and kept the party flowing seamlessly from the ceremony, 1st dance, dinner, to hours of dancing to follow. We were looking for a 90s hip hop inspired vibe with some contemporary and Latin artists mixed in and that's exactly what he delivered. Friends were telling us for months how much fun our wedding was. Thank you Matt! Steve and Andrea

Matt provided a calming influence in an otherwise chaotic day. It is clear he has a deep knowledge base of various musical styles and seamlessly bridged one song to another creating a constant groove on the dance floor. He was punctual, professional and proficient at keeping the evenings' various dances and toasts on time. We received numerous compliments from our guests regarding the music and we could not agree more. We strongly recommend DJ Matt Roan for your wedding and of all the decisions you will need to make while planning, this will be the easiest!

Matt was able to give us the best DJ experience we could ask for at our wedding. The dance floor was packed all night and Matt’s DJ experience really showed with his sense of the crowd. Every guest we have talked to has complemented us on our DJ choice! Planning with Matt takes all of the worry and stress out of that portion of the wedding planning process. He’s a pro and after filling out a quick survey, and meeting with him, he was able to tell exactly the type of vibe we were going for with our music.

My husband and I could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. Matt's vibes were immaculate and he really kept the party going for the duration of our wedding. We still get compliments (almost a year later) how great he was. He listened to what kind of music we wanted, certain songs we needed to be played, certain songs we needed to avoid. He was so good at mixing our first dance song, the father/bride dance and the mother/groom dance for us. We wouldnt have known what to do without him. He really truly was the best and we are so grateful to him for being a part of our special day.

So many great things to say about DJ Matt Roan - where do I begin!! Firstly, leading up to the wedding, I can't stress how kind and professional Matt was. For my first venue, I was a little nervous about how the room should be set up for the big day. He kindly went out of his way to meet me at one of my venue tours to talk it all out and come up with the best solution. He also laid out his pricing for me, which was incredibly simple and easy to understand - exactly what you would want as a bride. Next, when COVID forced us to postpone our wedding, Matt was SO responsive about his availability and made it incredibly easy for us to switch our date without a hitch. He was ready to come party with us wherever, whenever. Finally, as the wedding day got closer, he worked with us to get our vibe down just right. He allowed us to share as many or as few songs as we needed, asked the important questions, made sure to get the correct versions of first dance songs - all of it - perfect! The whole time we worked together, he kept the conversation light and fun - which was so appreciated as a bride who has to coordinate so many vendors. Lastly (maybe the best part!), my sisters had actually reached out to Matt to help them create a special version of the song Fergalicious so that they could surprise me with a hysterical rap during the MOH speech - and Matt DELIVERED! The performance was absolutely epic and set the tone for the rest of the night, where we danced all night long to Kygo and upbeat jams. He was a great MC as well and not to mention, he has excellent style! We love Matt Roan and couldn't recommend him enough! You will not regret booking him!!

Matt was a crucial part of our wedding after party and we could not have been happier with having him as our DJ! Not only is he extremely kind, but he is insanely talented and knows how to work the energy of the audience! He was so accommodating with our music suggestions, and integrated our taste and preferences while also working his own magic into the room. Matt knows music so well and was the perfect person to keep the party going for us! He is extremely professional and created such an elevated after party experience for our guests. I would recommend Matt 10/10 times, no matter what type of event you are hosting. He is an incredible talent and a joy to work with!

I wish I could give 10 stars. The first thing we booked for our wedding was the venue, the second was DJ Matt Roan. My husband and I are big fans of his work from attending various events throughout Chicago, and couldn’t imagine anyone else helping bring our wedding day to life. Outside of crushing the music itself, Matt was a perfect MJ. He kept the schedule flowing, and people on the dance floor. Our friends wedding is in June and they booked him for their wedding after attending ours. Can’t recommend him enough.

We were torn between a band a DJ for our Chicago wedding and we are SOOOOO happy we went with a DJ because it meant we got to dance the night away with DJ Matt Roan! Matt was so communicative about our vibe and what we wanted from the night, and truly the best DJ I’ve ever seen live, no joke. Matt asked for a list of “must-plays” so we knew we’d have our favorites played while he also injected so much cool and fun into the mixes for the night. People danced *literally* all night and our wedding guests could not stop gushing about him the next morning at brunch. If you want an incredibly kind, excellent, and talented DJ for your wedding, look no further than Matt Roan!!

Matt is just the best. Period. He took all of our pretty specific song suggestions/requests and perfectly curated our wedding music to fit the flow of our night. We didn't have a traditional sit down wedding (more of a cocktail reception with heavy food stations), so it wasn't an easy feat to ensure that the music fit the mood as it progressed through the evening, but Matt nailed it. Could not recommend him more for your event!!

Matt Roan was, quite literally, the best wedding DJ I've ever heard. While I knew he was great going into the event, his skills and professionalism truly exceeded our highest hopes and expectations. To this day, one of the first things our guests say to me about our wedding was "your DJ was amazing!" I recommend Matt enthusiastically.

Matt Roan is literally THE BEST. If you care about the music at your wedding (as you should), email him immediately! My now husband and I have a broad taste in music and go to a lot of concerts and knew that we wanted our music to be a thoughtful and purposeful part of our day, and deliver a killer dance floor. Our venue coordinator recommended Matt and we could not be happier that he was a part of our wedding day. He is a true DJ with such a passion for music and talent for mixing and keeping the vibe you want! Matt was so great to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process, and was so flexible with us as we navigated our postponement due to covid. When it was finally confirmed that our wedding was actually going to happen in 2021, Matt was right there ready to pick up the conversations about music again and he was so helpful in thinking through parts of the day that needed music that we hadn't thought about, and how we wanted different parts of the day to transition to another. He helped us with some custom music requests, brought all the sound equipment, brought the party, and literally brought the house down until we were the last ones standing at 1am. Our guests loved the music too and it was a day, night, and dance floor we will never forget. We're so grateful to have had Matt DJ our wedding - can't imagine it being any other way! He's also the coolest, and a literal vibe himself, if you need any more convincing. Go with Matt, he is NOT your average wedding DJ! He is so so much more.

Beyond our vows, music was the most important thing for us. After booking the venue, we went straight to available DJs and found Matt. After a few prep meetings, Matt knew exactly what we wanted and.. did he ever bring it to life!! Matt was the best wedding DJ we’ve ever experienced (and we’ve both been in a lot of weddings). He kept the energy going and knew exactly what it took to keep everyone on the dance floor. Transitions were top notch! We received so many compliments from people who said the DJ was incredible and that we really knew how to throw a party. Recommend over and over again. Post wedding we said how do we throw a private party so we can invite Matt back? If music matters to you, Matt is your only choice.

Matt Roan is AMAZING!!!! He is so talented, kind, and just an amazing and fun person to be around. I was told by many guests at our wedding that they have never seen a dance floor as packed as ours, and that is all because of Matt. He is so communicative, really knows how to keep the dance floor alive, and is extremely professional. After our wedding he sent us a recording of the actual set list from the reception, which was so special and fun - it is truly like we are reliving the night when we listen to it! Matt is such a great presence, and we cannot recommend him enough. I GUARANTEE you will have an amazing wedding if Matt is your DJ!

Matt Roan is without a doubt, the best DJ around. We recently hired Matt to DJ for our daughter's wedding reception at the Chicago Botanical Gardens. And OMG, he did an awesome job. His sets are crazy good, and he had everyone on the dance floor until midnight. His song mix/remixes are incredible. He is SO easy to work with. We had some quirky requests and song mix choices, and he masterfully handled them all. He definitely kept our party going all night. Matt helped make my daughter's wedding a truly fun, magical evening. I HIGHLY recommend Matt for your event!!!

Matt Roan is a super talented DJ and did a great job at our wedding! Prior to our wedding, we had been to a few weddings where he performed and felt like he did a great job setting the vibes for a fun dance party. His mixing between songs/artists/genres is pretty flawless and unique. He announced everything wonderfully and kept the flow of the reception going nicely. Matt was fun and easy to work with. We enjoyed meeting with him before our big day to go over the details - he listened to our vision and preferences which was awesome. After the wedding he sent us an audio copy of our wedding music which we will keep forever. We highly recommend him for a wedding or any other event!

Best DJ ever. Seriously...book Matt. He did such a great job and our entire wedding loved his music and vibe. He is super easy to communicate with, was early for set up and threw an amazing party.
