Jason reallt got to know us and crafted an awesome list of jams to keep the energy Up, and everyone happy! Professional and intuitive, funny, and an overall GREAT guy. He's going to be VERY busy during wedding season because he's amazing......did I mention how amazing he was? Well, he's amazing! I will definitely recommend him to all my friends, clients and strangers on the street for their festive events! I plan to call upon him again too. Jason, many thanks for making our wedding reception the best party everrrrrr!

He arrived very prepared and was accommodating to last-minute requests. The uplighting he provided was a fun and festive addition.

FIVE STARS all the way!!…read more This is the second time hiring HOT MIX and this particular DJ. Smokin Scott Silz is the BEST!! Back by popular demand we we're lucky enough to secure Scott for our holiday party. Leading up to our event, many guests asked if we were going to have the same DJ as last year. When I confirmed, the response was all positive. Music will make or break the success of the party. Our guests stayed on the dance floor all night long. The vibe was enhanced perfectly by the music as the night went along. Cool and loungey as guests arrived and gradually moving into fun mixes and elevated energy. I loved the music selection and the creative mixes DJ Scott created. Our DJ arrived early, his professional equipment ready. His arrival, set up, talent and take down were all perfection! I will never hire anyone else!! If you want fantastic entertainment for your event, DJ Smokin Scott Silz at Hot Mix Entertainment is the only choice!!

He is extremely professional and was so much fun with every meeting! So very helpful with the planning process and incredibly thorough in getting to know your musical tastes to create just the right vibe for your day. He kept our guests on the dance floor the entire evening and kept the party going until the very last minute. Not only was Scott our DJ & MC but also provided a great photo booth with tons of fun signage props. We even opted for the photo booth guest book keepsake which we have looked at several times since our wedding! We also chose the uplighting offered by Scott that was placed throughout the event space which really enhanced the ambiance of the room! Overall, it was an absolute honor having Scott "Smokin" Silz a Chicago house music pioneer and legend spin on our wedding day. He was certainly a highlight for us and our guests. He definitely made it a night we will always remember!

This guy's great . . . can I give him more than 5 stars?!?!…read more I used Dominic Wayne for a National Sales Meeting I coordinated this year (150 people held at the Renaissance Hotel in Chicago). Dominic is the DJ at Vaughan's Pub on Sheffield and also had a great resume of other company/corporate events & weddings that he has done . . . I knew he would do a great job with the music and when meeting with him I learned that he also did video production. We hired him to do our Kick off opening day module for meeting. We needed something that would get the employees excited and engerized for the next 3 days. Dominic created about a 5 minute video showcasing all of our brands in an extremely creative and upbeat way (all set to great music of course). The video was great and I actually received several requests for copies of it including one from the head of our Board of Directors who was totally impressed and showed it at the next board meeting. We also hired him to DJ our evening events . . . first night was the welcome cocktail reception, the second night was a casino/roaring 20's themed party. The first night was great, played great music and kept everyone mingling way past the end of dinner. The second night was even better than the first (and 7 mths later, people are still talking about him). We had a Roaring 20's themed night & Dominic was the hit of the party. He dressed up like a gangster, started out the first part of the night with appropriately themed music and then graduated into dance music and had the whole party on the dance floor . . . the hotel literally had to kick us out of the ballroom. We originally only hired him for 2 nights, but actually ended asking him to come back for the third night to DJ our award cermony. . . and again he was a hit. Dominic really brought some freshness and energy to what could have easily been another boring sales meeting. I'm looking forward to the next meeting or event or party I can book him for . . . unitl then I'll head to Vaughan's to hear him play.

He had wonderful recommendations and was very intuitive with our genres in music tastes. He kept people on the dance floor all night long.

Cheers to a wonderful DJ!

Jorge with Spin did our wedding reception in September and we could not possibly be more satisfied…read morewith his performance. They sent us a link to an interactive form prior to the event whereby we could designate our must-play, can-play and don't-play lists, as well as lay out an itinerary complete with names and pronunciations, so that the event flowed seamlessly without the need to interrupt us in the mess of things. Jorge did an amazing job of reading the crowd and catering the playlist to that which our guests were positively responding. He brought great energy to the party. He was punctual, professional, and fairly priced. I would certainly recommend him and hire him again.

DJ Prashant was amazing. He came to adidas in Portland for our Diwali celebration and absolutely…read morerocked the place. He was the biggest highlight of the afternoon and was so skilled at spreading the positive energy to everyone. People were dancing, laughing, and having a great time thanks to him. 100% recommend!

DJ Prashant was a joy to work with throughout our wedding process. Beforehand he took several calls…read moreand helped us choose music and timings. He provides a generic timeline/schedule that we then used as our master timeline for ourselves! From the business side of things: 5 out of 5 From the execution of the event: 5 out of 5 Personality and ease to work with: 5 out of 5 We had a Hindu/Christian fusion wedding and the music was on point. Not only that, but he mic'd up our Pastor and provided all of the speakers and equipment for 3 separate areas. DJ Prashant is first and foremost a professional and you can rest easy knowing he will handle everything calmly. The staff he hires are awesome as well and know their business. For music selection he will provide music if you do not want to choose, but he is 100% willing to play only the music you want. This is not a DJ who has his own version of events, he will do it YOUR WAY!!! For a fusion wedding this was critical as several other DJ's told us that they would pick it out and read the crowd. Prashant said he could do this for us if we wanted, but would also play the songs we chose. Well, we ended up providing a massive playlist of music for him and he picked out and played the songs appropriately. A huge list of Hindi music, 90s rock, top 40, and slow songs. The dance floor was flooded the entire time and the music and lighting was on point. There were apparently a couple of different technical difficulties that arose, but not a single guest ever knew. DJ Prashant has several backups and options in case things go awry and he handled things like a pro! We, the bride and groom, only found out after he joked about it after-the-fact! Great guy. Professional, and knows his craft.

We used Windy City Hit Man for our wedding last June and it was a FANTASTIC experience. We are so…read moreincredibly glad we did it and cannot recommend them enough. We were blown away by their presentation. We had interviewed a couple other DJ groups and were unimpressed by their lack of enthusiasm about working on our wedding. As soon as we walked in the door at Windy City we felt welcomed and that we had found what we were looking for. They have a demonstration set up so you can actually see what the lights will look like on your wedding day so you're not picking randomly through a package you can only visualize through description. They are also willing to crank up their sound system and show you their computers just to help you understand how it all works. He also said we could request any song and as long as it was available on iTunes, he would have it for us, with no additional charge. My (then fiance) husband was SOLD. I was contacted by the DJ we were going to be working with about two weeks before our wedding. He asked me if I had any specific requests. I did. About a week before the wedding I emailed him a specific list of songs I needed played during dinner and then a couple requests (as well as a couple of "if you play these songs, I'll shoot you" songs) for dancing. On the day of, I didn't even need to talk to the DJ once. While some people would think that is a bad thing, I thought it was excellent. The last thing you need on your wedding day is to have to worry about details and our DJ was set up and ready to go as soon as we needed him. If I ever need a DJ, I'll be using Windy City again!

These guys are simply THE BEST!…read more From the moment we met with them until the end of our event, these guys exhibited topnotch professionalism, courtesy, and hospitality. They have a MASSIVE library of music from the 1920's until Today. Big Band, Jazz, Country (classic and pop), Top 40, R&B, Rap, Soul, Classic Rock, Glam Rock, Roots... you name it, they've got it. What's even better is that if (miraculously) they don't have something, they'll get it at no cost to you!! They have a few packages to choose including simple setups for just music to large setups including various light machines and other fun things. They have an on line area where you can setup play lists of specific songs or just genre's. Or you can simply just tell them what NOT to play. You can customize any part of the experience including how involved the DJ will be with your event. Anything from "just play the music" to "get the party started!!" They'll do whatever it takes to make sure that you and, more importantly, your guests have a great time. We hired them for our wedding this past June at Brookfield Zoo. They arrived on time and setup without any interference from us. They stuck to our play list and took some requests from our guests while being respectful of our "no play" list. The DJ took care of all announcements and was articulate and friendly. To be honest, I don't remember seeing the DJ that much even though we were dancing a good part of the night. That is the sign of a good DJ. You only remember the bad ones, right? Big or small... these are the guys you want spinning at your party. They are ultimate professionals and know their stuff. There's a reason they are #1 in Chicago for weddings; book'em and find out for yourself! The Windy City Hitman are a hit!
