My husband found Ceasar's company online. He was happy to hop on a FaceTime call with us to talk about his DJ services. We love EDM and house music and he was very knowledgable about all the music we talked about! We asked if we can make playlists for everything and it was super easy to send stuff over to him, to play during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was AWESOME at introductions and did a great job of trying to stick with our schedule and being flexible. We also got the photobooth service from him and the pictures turned out amazing!! He sent us a link with all the pictures from the night, which we enjoyed looking at. He even sent a few videos! We also got the glow sticks and the crowd loved them!

The day of, everything was set up and ready to go right on time (we also did uplighting and a photo booth through Encore!) and the music was pumping. Emilio frequently checked in on us throughout the event and made sure we were ready to go for each part of our schedule. He also was able to read the crowd and played the perfect music to fit the mood while also incorporating both our requests and the crowd's requests. We can't recommend Clik Entertainment (and especially Emilio!) enough!

My guests loved her playing. The best part is I didn't have to worry about her at all, which is huge when you have 10 other vendors to coordinate. I'm so glad I found her.

I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.

He made us feel like we were the biggest event he had planned for the year and that he was just as excited to work with us as we were with him.

If you want a rocking dance floor and to party hard then look no further than toast and jam.

Daryl and the band were outstanding! Played super fun current pop favorites for the kids and lots of 70s funk for us Gen X party animals. HUGE talents here. Tons of horns for the bride's dancing pleasure. They rocked it! We had a blast and recommend highly!

Okyne Medialab is a contemporary wedding DJ business based in Austin, Texas and Chicago, Illinois. This entertainment company strives to bring a fresh perspective to the DJ industry. While still taking the lead on the night, these DJs will remain true to your vision and expectations.

We had such an amazing experience with Eric and Okyne Medialab from start to finish! The entire team was professional, responsive, and made the process completely stress-free. They truly understood the vibe we wanted for our wedding and absolutely delivered. Eric was phenomenal — he played every single song from our must-play list and didn’t miss a beat when it came to reading the room. Not a single song felt out of place, and the energy on the dance floor never dropped. If you're looking for someone who can create an unforgettable EDM-inspired dance party, Eric is your guy! He was also super helpful with managing the audio and music for our ceremony, making everything feel seamless from start to finish. We can’t recommend Okyne Medialab enough, especially for any Chicagoland couple looking for a professional, fun, and music-savvy DJ. They made our night unforgettable!
