DJUj Mobile Music Lights & Entertainment

Jim was amazing to work with from start to finish. Even before choosing to have Jim as our DJ he was very approachable and helpful. Our wedding was at Itasca CC in Illinois, but we currently live in Redondo Beach, CA so communication and responsiveness was very important to us. Jim made sure to help however he could along the way and was able to ease our nerves, even while we were over 2000 miles away. We had multiple phone conferences, and also met in person the week prior to the wedding. Jim provided music and microphones for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception (all of which were in different rooms). On the day of our wedding he was there plenty early to set up and also answer any questions that we had and to just help us take a deep breath. When it was time to start our reception from the minute our wedding party entered Jim was on top of everything. He was the «quarterback» of our wedding and made sure that the plan we had discussed the week prior went perfectly. He made sure there was never any awkward silence, and selected amazing music for during dinner. When it came time to the dance and party after dinner, Jim’s music selection was perfect. We requested some songs on his client portal, but also wanted to make sure he had freedom as a DJ to play what he felt fit. He did an AMAZING job and I have never been to a wedding that had so much continuous dancing and people on the dance floor. Jim was amazing to work with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks for making our day perfect Jim!
P. S. if you are on the fence for getting the uplighting, definitely get it, you won’t be disappointed, it made all of our pictures of our reception look amazing!

Jim was the DJ at both of our daughter’s weddings (about 9 years apart) and he is fantastic. I wanted to blend three songs for the Father/​Daughter Dance at my youngest daughter’s recent wedding and Jim actually came to my house and worked on it with me. I am a perfectionist and wanted the transitions from one song to the other to be as seamless as possible. Jim was not only patient and took the time to get it just how I wanted, but actually loved the fact that I was putting so much effort into it. He also read a short statement that I had written about the songs right before the dance and was happy to do it. He made sure he got all the «must play» and «don’t play» songs from my daughter before her big day. Jim is a really nice guy and was just terrific all the way through our event from start to finish. I recommend him highly to anyone looking for a DJ for their event

Jim is by far the best dj ever. Quick to respond and super accommodating for all our needs… lighting… monogram… and music. I don’t think anyone was sitting after dinner he truly made our wedding awesome. Thank you Jim.

We could not be more thrilled with DJUj! He came highly recommended to us, and we highly recommend him. From the first email to meeting him, we knew we were in great hands. There was no doubt that we would have the BEST DJ and be stress free. The online music portal was wonderful, from listing songs so we wouldn’t forget them, to looking for suggestions when we were unsure of one. The day of the wedding, DJUj was well prepared and did an AMAZING job!!! We feel so lucky to have had DJUj as part of our day! Thank you for making our wedding PERFECT!!!

Jimmy was wonderful to work with! He was so attentive and had a great mix of music– exactly what we asked for! We had a weekday wedding and most people were either traveling or going back to work the next day, but everyone still had a great time thanks to his energy! The up-​lighting he offered was awesome, it added a great ambiance. Jimmy was knowledgeable and accommodating and incredibly fair! He took time to meet with us before the wedding, stayed included in our plans, made himself available, and even went a step further to attend our rehearsal — which was undeniably helpful as he helped guide us in the right direction! We’re so thankful he was referred to us — we can only hope to pay that forward!

Honestly, Jimmy is by far the BEST wedding dj in the chicago-​land area. He was the first vendor I booked and I knew going into the wedding planning that if he wasn’t available, I was going to change my date! Jimmy made me feel so comfortable in knowing that I had nothing to worry about and he would take care of everything from the microphones at the ceremony to packing the dance floor. Our wedding guests came up to me all night to tell me how good the dj was. I’ve recommended Jimmy to many friends already and will continue to do so through the years!

JIMMY IS AWESOME!!! I cannot say enough great things about DJUj and Jimmy! We hired Jimmy for our wedding at Wilder Mansion and he did an awesome job with the ceremony, introductions, and keeping the dance floor full all night! Not to mention that Jimmy is super cool and so easy to work with! He helped us coordinate several fun music surprises with entrances and first dances. He was always professional and prompt. It was further re-​assuring that all our other vendors were excited that it was Jimmy coming to our wedding because he is so awesome to work with! Jimmy, thank you SO much for everything could not have had our wedding be perfect without you!!! Hope to work with you again in the future!

Jim is incredibly professional, and amazing at what he does. He was so easy to work with that I have been informing all family and friends that he is a must hire for all of the weddings coming up. His pricing can not be beat! At my wedding I had several guests tell me that I picked an awesome play list, but the truth was that it was all Jim!

Amazing DJ and person in general! James is super easy to talk to and willing to work with you to make sure every song you want is played and that the ambiance for your event is perfectly tuned to you. He had a great set up and played a wide variety of music at our wedding that everyone enjoyed! The dance floor was packed the whole night! He’s wonderfully priced too! I definitely suggest using his uplighting. They looked so elegant and were priced much better than the uplighting at our venue. So glad our friends referred him, and we’ve been referring him as much as possible!!! Don’t pass him up!!!

I do not have anything negative to say. I was recommended to him from two different friends who both used him for their weddings and I was not disappointed. James Mastrino (DJ Jimmy) was amazing and totally rocked our June 5^th wedding. He was so easy to work with from our initial meeting down to the last dance. He was extremely professional and always responded in a timely manner when I had a question. He did both our outdoor wedding as well as our indoor reception at Starved Rock. He went above and beyond the entire night to make sure everything ran smoothly and I was happy. He was spot on for everything and even volunteered to run up to my room during dinner (his time off) because I had forgot part of the decorations that I wanted at the reception. I had a slideshow for my father/​daughter tribute in which I had my own music that I tested at the venue (it worked before everything started) and when it of course wouldn’t play when I needed it he already had the song ready to go on backup so we didn’t miss a beat. The dance floor was packed the entire night and I got so many compliments on the music, ambiance and overall level of fun for the night. I would highly recommend DJ Jimmy for any event and am so thankful that he helped make our wedding a huge success!
A small side note-​he was the only wedding vendor I talked to that did not want to accept payment until after the service was done to make sure that we were happy with the service. He is not just in the business to make a buck, he thoroughly enjoys what he does and it completely shows in his quality of work.

DJ Jimmy was fantastic! He showed up really early before our ceremony and made sure everything was set up correctly and sounded right. We had a daytime wedding and were concerned that no one would dance. But he knew the right songs to play to engage both our older and younger guests. He then asked everyone to the dance floor for a circle of love and played Piano Man which was so fun! My husband and I were in the middle surrounded by everyone that we love– it was so cool and really appreciated that. He was very responsive during the planning stage and very easy to get in touch with. His website is very convenient. I can’t say enough positive things about him and recommend him for your wedding day. Thanks so much Jimmy!

James was fantastic for our wedding at Danada House! Our caterer Uncle Bub’s recommended him to us which says a lot in itself. Our reception ended up being half indoors and half outdoors, so James suggested we bring our own flashdrive of music to play through his speakers outside for the people playing lawn games while he DJ’d for the people inside on the dance floor. What’s even better is how responsive he is. Literally the night before our 10AM wedding, I was e-​mailing him afraid that my flashdrive wasn’t in the right format. As always, he responded immediately and was totally cool and calm with my last-​minute organization– or lack there of :P Also, our photographer was just a friend of the family (it was only her second wedding), and I noticed that James always made sure to get her attention before he announced big moments like my father’s toast. Overall I’d call him super laid back yet responsive and professional. We and all our guests had an absolute blast!

I am so lucky to know Jimmy! First, he’s a great person. Second, he throws one heck of a party and gets everyone on the dance floor. Jimmy has great sound, a lit up and professional setup, wonderful organizational skills and a way to put clients at ease. He really gets the dance floor going with a great mix of current tunes, classic hits and party favorites! I’ve recommended him to anyone and everyone that has a need for a great DJ at their wedding. Just a tip, book early! Thanks Jimmy!

James Mastrino is the best DJ ever! So happy we picked him for our wedding. Our dance floor was full the entire reception and all our guests commented on how great our DJ was. So happy with him. He even came early to do music for our ceremony at no extra cost. Very easy to talk to and knows what he is doing! So impressed. We also had blue up lighting and it looked amazing. Very elegant. Nothing bad to say! My friends will definitely be using him for their weddings and I would recommend him to everyone!

Your wedding DJ creates the mood for your reception and Jimmy was spot on! His online planning website was easy to use and had tons of songs to choose from. When we met with him to review the timeline and playlist, Jimmy was super friendly and positive he could keep people on the dance floor all night and he delivered!
My new husband and I have fairly different music taste. Jimmy was able to honor and blend all of our requests throughout the evening. He even threw in the Zelda theme song during dinner that gamers loved and three Zeppelin songs which made my husband very pleased. Once the dancing portion started, he got people on the dance floor right away and kept them there all night!
We received many compliments on our DJ and would recommend him to anyone! His prices were so reasonable, we added his uplighting service which looked AMAZING!

We recently had Jimmy DJ for our wedding at Wilder Mansion in Elmhurst and could not have asked for anyone better! From the ceremony music to cocktail hour to dancing, we had the complete comfort of knowing he had the music and emceeing totally under control. He knows this unique venue inside and out so I definitely recommend hiring him for this space as well as other ones! He also set up blue uplights for the dancing which was very fun. Jimmy is both laid back and fun and was one of our favorite vendors.

Jimmy did an awesome job for our wedding. He went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Jimmy was very professional in all his interactions, and very quick to respond to all my questions that I had. He even met with me face to face to make sure I was comfortable with everything prior to the wedding. The up lighting he used was AWESOME. It completely changed the look of the venue. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ in the Chicago area!

Jimmy was our DJ for our wedding, and we are beyond pleased. He is a fabulous guy, very down to earth and funny and is excellent at what he does. He got the crowd dancing, made great announcements, and uses awesome up-​lighting. He met with us a couple times before to go over everything and has an online playlist where you can request songs, list songs you DONT what played, and put in names and info of the wedding party. We had a lot of guests come up to us the end of the night saying how great he was. Definitely made our day more magical!!!

Best DJ in the area. I began to follow Mr. Mastrino as the Thursday night DJ at my favorite pub, Fitz’s in Elmhurst. From there I’ve run into him at a few weddings and recently at the Daddy daughter Dance at Wilder Mansion in Elmhurst. He brings such a great feel to a room and moves the mood (s) at just the right time. He remembered my name and bent over backwards to accommodate my daughter’s request for our special dance… not easy to do as a mainstream DJ but he pulled out Trace Adkins «Just Fishin» on the whim of an 8 y/​o.
Just fabulous! I also like how friendly he is to the other staff around him such as the caterers, waitstaff, and bartenders. Always smiling, friendly, and pleasant. I highly recommend DJUj for you mobile music needs!
