Toast & Jam DJs is a DJ company that services weddings in Chicago, IL. This company avoids relying on gimmicks and forced dances at an event to get the crowd going, instead focusing on providing carefully considered playlists. Offering customized playlists to suit the happy couple’s personal preferences, this team can expertly read the room to know what tunes to play next. The studio was founded in 2005 by owner Mary Nisi, an experienced DJ who has worked at numerous weddings both nationally and internationally. She has played at many well-known Chicago locations, such as The Whistler and The Burlington, as well as Barack Obama’s 53rd birthday party. Mary was bored of seeing wedding DJs stealing the show and taking attention away from the couple on their big day. Wanting to offer entertainment rather than antics, she established Toast & Jam DJs. While the studio has grown in size, with a choice of 27 DJs to choose from, the team retains a personal touch. They schedule meetings with couples before their events, and enjoy getting to know them and establishing a connection. Couples will also be asked to choose songs that they like and dislike, allowing the DJ to become familiar with their tastes. Toast & Jam DJs is available for cocktail hour, dinner music, and the dancing portion of your celebration. They are happy to introduce the toasts, and can provide music for the ceremony if it is taking place in the same venue as the reception. They offer services for a minimum of six hours on the day. While each DJ has their own equipment, they work solely with digital equipment to provide the best music possible.
