Afterhours Music - Chicago Wedding DJ and Lighting — Attraction in Leyden Township

It is no surprise that After Hours Music has 5-star ratings on every platform that you can think of.

We first contacted Joe about two years ago based on a recommendation from a client of mine. I feel that Joe exceeded expectations in his role - even my coordinator commented on how amazing that he was. As a bride navigating planning a wedding during a pandemic (we had 5 major changes: 3 different dates, changed venues to Wisconsin, and also had to change caterers within 2 months of the wedding), it is extremely appreciated when a vendor is timely in response. Joe was always one of the first vendors to respond - frequently within minutes of a sent email. I cannot express to folks enough how much you will appreciate this when you are planning your event.

Several reviews will comment on how Joe has the amazing ability to read the room and play music that will get everybody moving. This was no different from our wedding. Even with a little drama that happened during the last speech that could have easily spoiled the evening, Joe was able to quickly adjust and help us to get people happy and moving on the dance floor. Folks had to be kicked out at the end of the night, which was after midnight on a...

Our wedding day was truly magical, and a huge part of that magic was because of Joe! He and I collaborated a lot on the music and the energy & sound we wanted. From the moment the music started, it was clear we were in for an unforgettable night. Joe perfectly captured the vibe we wanted, seamlessly mixing our favorite bangers with crowd-pleasing hits that had everyone on the dance floor.

What really stood out was how effortlessly he read the room. Whether it was setting the mood during dinner with the perfect blend of background tunes or cranking up the energy with a surprise remix that had our guests cheering. Joe nailed every moment. He even handled last-minute requests with ease, making it feel like each song was handpicked just for us.

If you're looking for a DJ who is not only talented but also personable, professional, and truly invested in making your day special, look no further. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Joe!

Thank you for turning our wedding into a night we'll never forget. Highly,...

DJ Nardi is absolutely the best DJ! From the moment we booked with him he was very organized using his online portal, he guided us through the process, shared ideas on what makes a wedding a success and what we needed before the special day. Joe helped us plan the ceremony music which required a great sound system due to our outdoor venue, our dinner music which was Frank Sinatra style and the best part was the variety of mix music everyone danced to all night long. He set the overall vibe and everyone was on the dance floor up until the very last minute. He’s a great DJ offering a variety of music, mixing it just right and really knows how to read the crowd. He’s also a great MC and kept our party flowing all night long. If your looking for the best of the best it’s DJ Nardi! Thanks Joe Nardi for everything you did to make our day so special. We still have guests telling us the night was so much fun and our DJ was excellent! This was definitely a night to remember. Your simply the BEST and we are...
