We heard of Show on the Road via word of mouth and have heard great things. We had Joe as our DJ along with Andrew and Bryana for our photo booth. Joe did an amazing job keeping th...
e dance floor going and being our MC for the night. Show on the Road is very easy to work with and we would recommend their services for any event.

ur wedding and we 1000% recommend them! 5 star service!
I think the price adjusted well to our budget and we got everything we wanted for our special day. Most importantly, both showed great professionalism but also brought great energy to our party.
If you are planning to have a wedding/big event in the Chicago area, I would definitely recommend you to look into working with them!
Had a great experience with Joe from Show on the Road! He arranged everything for our wedding photo booth and was also the one in attendance. We had made sure that this company cou...
ld provide photography without flash because the bride has photosensitive epilepsy, and they delivered; the photos still came out great with the lighting they utilized. They also provided a print photo album for us at the end of the night as well as a digital album of all the pics people had taken: fun! Thanks for great service.
We had the best time ever with Show on the Road as our wedding DJ! From the very first song, the energy was perfect — Chuck had everyone out on the dance floor all night. The mix o...
f millennial bangers and our personal song requests was spot on (I swear every song was a crowd favorite!).
Chuck was so kind, hands-on, and incredibly responsive throughout the whole process — he made everything feel easy and stress-free. The uplighting around the room looked amazing and really brought the whole vibe together. He read the crowd perfectly and kept the party going right up to the last song — no one wanted it to end!
If you want a DJ who knows how to keep the dance floor packed and make your wedding unforgettable, Show on the Road is it! 🎶💃🕺
Joe did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding! He checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were happy with the vibes, played the music we loved, and kept the dance floor pa...
cked!! We have been to multiple weddings where Joe has been the DJ and all of them have been so fun thanks to his amazing work.
We could not be happier with our experience with DJ Joe! He has now DJed three of our family weddings, and every single time he absolutely crushes it. Our dance floor was packed fr...
om the first song to the very last, and he somehow managed to keep guests of all ages dancing all night long.
Beyond just the music, Joe made sure the lighting and overall vibe of the venue were perfect. We took his recommendations on color choices, and thank goodness we did — the atmosphere was stunning!
We can’t recommend Show on the Road enough. If you’re looking for a DJ who will make your wedding unforgettable, Joe is your guy!
This company is amazing! They did my mom’s wedding in the 90s and everyone had a riot!!! My guests at my wedding this year still can’t stop talking about how they never seen the da...

We couldn’t be happier with Show On The Road! Joe did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding. From start to finish, he kept the energy up all night long. The music selection was ...
perfect, with something for everyone, and our guests haven’t stopped talking about how much they loved the variety.
We originally hired Show On The Road based on a friend’s recommendation, and now we completely understand why. Joe truly knows how to read the crowd and keep the party going. We’ll definitely be recommending him to anyone looking for a DJ! Thanks again Joe!
Joe was my dj for my wedding on 5-10-25. And he was amazing he was so interactive with my guests he really got people getting up and dancing. Legit all night long it was amazing he...
was easy to work with very flexible all around an amazing dj I recommend him for any event ty joe. I also recommend getting your name in lights he has many designs to choose from my guests are still talking about it.
Joe and Chuck were beyond helpful in our wedding planning process. Joe helped get us booked with Show On The Road. He answered tons of questions and put our minds at ease. Their be...
hind the scenes workbook they use to help organize what music a couple is interested in was superb. Chuck was our DJ on the day-of. He was professional, timely and very helpful. We were able to convey exactly what we wanted even in the moment and he was able to switch songs up on the fly. He kept the dance floor busy and we received so many compliments on his performance.
Chuck and Joe were OUTSTANDING! They checked in several times through the reception to make sure everything was going ok with the music, just to make sure we were happy. They playe...
d the music perfectly; adjusting to the crowd and what they liked. They worked with us by adding an extra song dedication right on the spot. We also got the photobooth -- Do it!! They managed everything, had amazing props, and even put a book together of everyone's pictures so we could keep it. They even helped with coordinating other things throughout the night just to take them off our plate -- things that weren't their responsibility. We talked over and over how happy we were with both Joe and Chuck. Hire them for your wedding -- it'll be even better than you imagined!!
Joe was extremely professional, helpful, and easy to work with from the very first informational meeting we had with him. He walked us through everything we needed to know in full ...
clarity and honesty. It was an easy choice for us because he is clearly a veteran in this field, and he is personable and very accommodating. He is also a fantastic DJ! Our guests had a great time on the dance floor, and Joe made us feel very comfortable from the beginning of the process to the very end. We would absolutely recommend Joe and his team.
Show on the road was our DJ and photobooth provider for our September 2023 wedding. From the beginning, they were responsive and professional. We had a very thorough Zoom call, and...
they explained their services to us. There was no pressure, just a very helpful explanation of what they provided. The music selection process was easy and user-friendly. Music is very important to us, and we had specific, somewhat obscure requests. Chuck was helpful and was able to accommodate all of our requests. We spent the entire night on the dance floor, and trust me, that's unusual! The photobooth pictures turned out great, and everyone enjoyed using it! We highly recommend SOTR!
Show on the Road was recommended to us by our photographer/videographer. When we met with Joe, the owner of the company, my husband and I felt comfortable and signed a contract th...
at day. Throughout the pandemic Joe was flexible and responsive. Chuck was our wedding DJ, and he was awesome! He did a great job announcing during our entrance and knew how to keep the dance floor alive. He took the time to go through our wedding timeline during our pre-wedding consult, and he nailed it at the reception. We would definitely recommend Show on the Road. Thanks again, Chuck
Joe went above and beyond to make sure that not only we had the best possible DJ experience, but to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible on our wedding day. He was extrem...
ely thorough and always available to help with any questions or requests. He went out of his way to help me surprise my wife with a song that wasn’t even on their list and made the night that much more special. When we had an issue with coordination our venue was supposed to handle Joe quickly stepped up took charge and resolved the issue. If you are considering any other vendor for your wedding to be your DJ you’re out of your mind because the quality of service for your money will be unbeatable. Thank you both Joe and Arnie for making our day so amazing!!!
Chuck was great to work with! He was all set up and ready to go by the time we got to the ceremony location and it all went very smoothly. At the reception he followed our list of ...
requested songs and kept people dancing all night long. He also coordinated with the photographer to make sure everything happened when it needed to. He asked us what we wanted out last song of the night to be and when Piano Man came on our guests all danced around us. It was a beautiful way to end the night.
Loved having Show on the Road DJs for our reception! Chuck was our DJ for our wedding day and he did a fantastic job. Super easy to contact and confirm song details. Chuck stuck to...
what we wanted in terms of songs/dinner music/reception dance songs etc. He also did a great job announcing all the names and individual wrestling theme songs! He provided lighting for the dance floor and microphones for all the speeches. The dance floor was never empty!
We hired Show On The Road for both DJ and photo booth services at our wedding. Chuck was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. Weddings can be awkward for the bride & groom. ...
Chuck made sure all the transitions were smooth, all bases were covered, and he definitely kept people on the dance floor all night long. I also want to note that we didn't have a wedding coordinator, so having the right DJ to keep the reception going/organized was really important for us. Chuck was just perfect, and I highly recommend him. (Also, the photo booth was worth every cent!)
We could not have been more thrilled with Show on the Road. Chuck was a great DJ and kept EVERYONE on the dance floor the entire night with great music. 100% recommend!!
Chuck and Ryan made our special day the greatest night of our lives! Very professional, made sure to play to the crowd to keep the dance floor full all night long! No one wanted to...
stop dancing because they made it a party! 5 stars is not not enough for these two! Will defiantly recommend show on the road to anyone looking for a great DJ service!
Our DJs (Chuck and Ryan) did such a fantastic job that we had several wedding crashers from the other wedding going on at our venue. One even told my husband that our DJ was much b...
etter than theirs!
Chuck was also great about checking in with us before any of the big moments (our entrance, toasts, special dances) to make sure everyone was on the same page and knew where they were supposed to be. All of our venders were great, but we were the most impressed by Show on the Road. Highly recommend to future brides and grooms!
Everything was fantastic! The entire process of finding our DJ, meeting with them and the planning process was so easy and stress free. Cindy was extremely helpful and Chuck and Jo...
e were amazing. We're still getting compliments 3 weeks after our wedding talking about how great the music was. We will definitely recommend you to any and all of our friends who need a DJ! Thanks again!!!!
Our guests are still commenting on how much fun they had at our wedding! Chuck was awesome! He was helpful every step of the way!
Chuckie at Show on the Road Productions set the tone for our ceremony and reception. He provided a microphone for the groom and I, the reader, and officiant. He provided our rece...
ption space with beautiful uplighting, a monogram, and a photo booth (that my 86 year old grandma went in!). He kept the pace of the reception on time. He worked with our photographer and venue coordinator to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Best of all, he kept the dance floor absolutely PACKED all night!! We had every person at our reception on the dance floor at some point or another thanks to the music he played!! There were a few dances that were different from any other reception I've been to - interactive and participatory (for example, during piano man we cheesed and drank with everyone in a big circle). It made for a reception that has people still texting and commenting on as "seriously the BEST wedding ever!!!" Thank you so much, Chuck!
Show On The Road was awesome! We could have not picked a better DJ! Chuck didn't forget anything. He had the personality to keep our guests out on the dance floor. The music was gr...
eat! Any questions we had before the wedding, he always responded very quickly. We used the photobooth through Show On The Road as well and that was a huge hit! Katie was super nice and always smiling! She was a huge help at our wedding as well! We really felt that Show On The Road cared about US. They did a great job!! I'll definitely be passing on the word if anyone is looking for a DJ or photo-booth! :)
Chuck of show on the road did a fantastic job at my daughters reception. The dance floor was packed until the end of the reception. The uplighting and dj display was beautiful. His...
staff at the photo booth did a great job too. Lots of fun props. Would highly recommend.
From our initial consultation to the reception itself, working with Show on the Road was an enjoyable and simple experience. First off, their software allowed my husband and I to c...
raft a custom playlist - including songs we loved and knew we wanted and those we wanted no part of. The day of our event, Chuck was outstanding. There's really no other way to put it. The music mix kept guests excited and on the floor, he was very interactive with the tables - taking suggestions from guests and he even brought us wine at the head table a couple times. Really, working with Chuck and the team at Show on the Road was fantastic and allowed us to be a "guest" at our own wedding!
My brother and sister in law used Show on The Road for their wedding, so all I knew was the outcome of the service. But what I didn't know was how easy the process was to make sure...
they had everything ready for
our big day. Show on the road has an "online planner" which was a great tool to guide the couple into the music requested for specific events - just play, play if possible, and do not play - as well as the level of involvement we wanted him to have in our wedding (i.e. cupid
shuffle, etc.). A week prior to the wedding, Joe scheduled a call with us to go through the general timeline of the day, and pronunciation of our bridal party's names, along with any outstanding questions we had.
This was very helpful as he gave us some feedback from his previous experiences (i.e. not have the brother of bride speech too late, as people seem to leave to go to the bathroom, smoke, etc.) so although it was so close to the wedding, I'm glad we took the time to walk through it.
The day of, mostly everything went according to plan. Slight mishap with the bridal party entrance song, but no one would have noticed besides me & my husband. They were able to provide music prior to the
ceremony, during our cocktail hour, and during the reception. Joe arrived as the MC for the reception and he did a great job wrangling everyone for the bridal party entrance and correct pronunciation of names. They did a phenomenal job with our reception playlist (we could
tell everyone young and old enjoyed themselves from our pictures) and they were able to accommodate our specific requests (special songs picked out for a birthday and to announce the late night snack). He even helped to announce the location of our after-party. This entertainment company seems to be a staple in our family (he's done four in our family and countless amount of our friends) and it's very clear to see why.
Joe was absolutely a great DJ! He knew exactly how to keep everyone on the dance floor!
We had an amazing experience with Show on the Road. They were very professional and great to work with. The interactive planner tool is very helpful. Everyone at the wedding absolu...
tely loved the DJ.
Joe and Cindy Medrano run a well organized and professional company. Their interactive planner ensures the day runs smoothly. Joe himself was the DJ at my wedding, and he moved t...
hings along well without being intrusive. When it came to the open dancing, he accommodated our taste, crowd requests, and what was needed to keep the crowd energized. Highly recommended.
Our DJ Paul did a fantastic job! The dance floor was packed all night! We also did uplighting with Show on the Road-looked great!
I would highly recommend Joe and his company for your wedding. We still have people telling us that it was the best wedding music they've ever heard. He was interactive, but not ...
overbearing and knew just what to play for our guests.
We also used their photo booth...HIT OF THE WEDDING! SO much fun and they created our guest book for us. We have a lot of great memories courtesy of the photo booth!
They did a great job
best vendor from start to finish. I was able to update my profile online. DJ was perfect and very creative and helped me out a lot.
loved rick!! he got everyone on the dance florr and not in a puchy way. everyone complimented us about our dj. loved it! the company is very easy to work with. they also did my sis...
ter's wedding and i think our guys was the best. they are as interactive as you want them to be. they ask you discreetly during the reception about what we want ect.;they were awesome. the only thing they did wrong was play the wrong song when we cut the cake. no big deal (funny thing is they picked the same song that they played at my sister's wedding as well)
The DJ kept the crowd entertained the entire night. We had an absolute blast at our wedding and so did our guests. The variety of music was great.
He was very flexible and did exactly what we asked.
They were interactive when needed and guided us through the evening. They were very energetic and professional.
Jeff was great he knew when to time certain music. He was very interactive and kept the dance floor full all night. I loved the fact that there were 2 DJ's provided.
he made sure he said everyone's name correctly for entrance. he was organized and enthusiastic and catered to our wants and needs.
Our wedding was five months ago and we still hear about how fantastic our wedding was. The DJs absolutely made the night. They played all of the music we wanted as well as music ...
our guests wanted. They entertained the crowd and kept everyone on their feet.
Hands down one of the best DJs that I have ever seen. He made our reception - EVERYONE was out of the dance floor from little kids to my 90 year old great-aunt.
The DJ had everyone involved. There was a mix of music and interactive activities. Everyone looked like they were having a great time.
AWESOME all I have to say :)
Amazing. Kept the dance floor packed all night! Played everything me and my guests asked for. Was a great dj all around. Request Rick Wilson!!!;Lights favors ect... cost a little...

ed the music for our ceremony and they did a great job they were on time for everything looked professional and made everyone have a great time.;They have now stopped doing the music for a ceremony if it is not at the same location for the reception.
very interactive fun and kept the party going all night long
We loved our DJ. He played music off our play lists and was not too over the top. He was wonderful.
