Just to preface - I take wedding dance floors extremely seriously. I think it is make or break for the reception. My fiancé and I were trying to keep costs as low as we could and h...
ad our eyes on a few other DJ’s that were within our price range and had been good at other weddings until I stumbled on DJ One Chance. I knew from the second I saw his Instagram that I needed to have him at our wedding. His energy, charisma, and ability to read the room is incredible. He was a bit out of our original price range (which was very low to begin with, keep in mind) and I can absolutely tell you that he is worth every single penny. Every planning meeting we had with him got us more and more excited to have him with us on the day of. He listened to the vibe and energy we were going for and could not have done a better job. My parents were blown away that for a bit of a tight dance floor and 200 guests, the dance floor was PACKED from 8:30 - Midnight. Some quotes we received from friends were “I haven’t danced that much at a wedding in a long time” - Rick, 59 years old and “Your DJ was insane. He knew which songs were hits with the crowd and kept the energy going” - MK, 30. He was a hit with every age group and we are forever indebted him for creating the dance floor of our dreams. I have never seen so many people compliment a wedding DJ or a dance floor so passionately. DJ One Chance worked with us seamlessly to make sure we were able to have the best day ever. He even let us request one more last song after the “last song” that we picked ourselves didn’t hit as hard as we wanted. If you want the best dance floor experience for your wedding - this is your guy. Could not recommend any more.
DJ One Chance was the star of our wedding! From our first conversation to the last song of the night, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only was he professional, respon...
sive, and invested in making our day special, but he also brought an energy that kept the dance floor packed all night long.
Before the wedding, we were struggling to come up with the perfect way to open the dance floor. During one of our planning meetings, he told us he had an idea and encouraged us to trust the process. We are so glad we did! From the moment the first dance floor song played until the very last song of the evening, our guests were dancing nonstop.
His commitment, presence, and ability to read the crowd were truly incredible. He played a huge role in making our wedding so much fun and creating memories we'll never forget. We've attended a lot of weddings over the years, and without a doubt, DJ One Chance is the best DJ we've ever experienced.
If you're looking for a DJ who will keep the energy high and make your event unforgettable, we cannot recommend DJ One Chance highly enough!
DJ One Chance recently played at our wedding and he blew our expectations out of the water. Our dance floor was full the entire night and I’m still getting compliments on the music...

We had a great experience working with DJ Once Chance for our August 2026 wedding in the Chicago area! In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, he took the lead on commun...
icating with us to understand the flow of the wedding day and what was important to us. Everything went smoothly with the ceremony where he provided a wireless microphone and stand, and he did a great job with the cocktail hour and emceeing our reception and party. We had a ton of guests specifically tell us after the wedding that the DJ was awesome and that they had a great time on the dance floor. He kept the dance floor packed and lively all night. We would highly recommend working with DJ One Chance for your wedding!
Timothy was absolutely amazing—better than we could’ve ever hoped for! He was truly the greatest DJ/MC. He was prompt, prepared, professional, and did an incredible job guiding us ...
through the entire process.
Our guests absolutely loved him, and the dance floor was packed all night! He brought such great energy and played a huge part in making our special day unforgettable.
We are incredibly grateful to Timothy for contributing to such an important and memorable day for us. You truly can’t go wrong with him. 10/10—highly recommend!

their lives, and doesn’t want the night to end, we cannot recommend DJ OneChance enough!! He completely understood the vibe we wanted and kept the perfect mix of songs playing all night long. The dance floor was PACKED from start to finish. The additional lighting he provided also made the reception feel like a true party! Between his music, the lights, and overall energy, he created an incredible atmosphere that made our reception one of the most fun nights we could have imagined. He absolutely crushed it and played such a huge part in making our reception unforgettable! Please hire him as your DJ!!
DJ One Chance was great from beginning to end! I believe he responded to my initial inquiry the same day and he was always prompt with communication from that point on. We let him ...
know what our vision was for our wedding and he did not disappoint. If you want you and your guest to be on the dance floor all night he is your man! We had to force ourselves to take a break from the dance floor! 1000% recommend!
We had a fantastic time having DJ One Chance as our wedding DJ! We got so many compliments on the music and vibe throughout the night. Highly recommend!
DJ One Chance was incredible to work with. He met with us multiple times throughout the months/weeks leading up to our wedding. He was always quick to respond to our questions and ...
we never had any doubts that he was there if we needed him for anything.
On the day of the wedding he arrived early and ready to rock. He kept our dance floor full all night and played music exactly like how we discussed in our planning calls. We really could not recommend him enough for your wedding or event!
DJ One Chance is the absolute best ever!! From our very first meeting we knew we were in good hands. He listened to our ideas and brought them to life. We met with him multiple tim...
es leading up to the wedding to walk through every detail, and it showed. On the actual night, everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
We had some unique ideas for our reception including playing our acoustic first dance song into the upbeat version to get the dance floor going, playing along with our surprise saxophonist who walked out when I changed into my second dress, and keeping the club vibes up all night — and he not only made them happen but executed them perfectly.
The dance floor was packed all night. Weeks later, our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how amazing the music was. DJ One Chance doesn't just play the top 200 wedding songs - he reads a room and plays what your guests want to hear. His transitions between songs were flawless!!
On top of all his talent, he's just a genuinely nice guy — easy to talk to and easy to work with. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him, and we can't recommend him enough. If you want a DJ who's invested in making your day special (not just showing up and pressing play), DJ One Chance is your guy!!
DJ One Chance was absolutely amazing! He was the DJ for our wedding, and no one wanted to leave the dance floor. From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive, easy to work...
with, and made the entire process seamless alongside our venue and wedding planner.
He perfectly tailored the music to fit our guests, and we received so many compliments about how fun the night was—largely because of the music. Keeping guests on the dance floor can be a challenge at any event, but he mastered it effortlessly.
We highly recommend DJ One Chance to anyone looking for an exceptional DJ!
If I could give DJ One Chance 100 stars, I would. From the very beginning, he made the entire process SO easy and fun. He arrived early to get familiar with the venue and make sure...
everything was perfectly set up before guests even arrived. The planning process was seamless with shared playlists and meetings that honestly felt more exciting than stressful.
One of my favorite parts of our wedding was our semi-custom grand entrance song he created for us, it was absolutely incredible and made the moment feel larger than life. His MC voice deserves its own award too. I swear I felt like I was being announced at a championship sporting event 😂 The energy he brought to the room was unmatched.
What really sets him apart is how well he reads a crowd. He knew exactly when to switch songs, keep the dance floor going, and keep the entire night flowing perfectly. Every single guest had an amazing time.
We originally “stole” him from my brother & sister-in-law’s wedding after seeing how amazing he was there, and now our friends who attended OUR wedding have booked him too. That makes 3 weddings in our friend/family circle for a reason because he is THAT good.
Truly could not have asked for a better DJ experience if we tried. Thank you, DJ One Chance, for making our wedding unforgettable!

otball national championship at a college bar, and a night out on the town on vacation. DJ One Chance absolutely knocked it out of the park. His planning process was extremely professional and organized- he made it easy for my husband and I. At the wedding reception, rom the moment my husband and I entered the ballroom, One Chance kept the energy UP and the guests excited. He flawlessly executed the speeches, first dances, and cake cutting, and got everyone on the dance floor and excited. Then, One Chance kept the party going the whole night. Every single song was a hit- he knew our crowd well and knew exactly what to say, and when to say it to keep the night fun and moving seamlessly.

wanted a DJ who knew how to keep the vibes, read a crowd, understand BPM and mix songs together and not just let them play, and hype a crowd. HE WAS IT. DJ One Chance, not only hyped my crowd, but kept the vibes going and the music flowing. So many guest complimented our choice of DJ, some even tried to flirt with him (Sorry DJ!). A tall good looking man with taste in music? Shoot, my guest LOVED him just like we did! The vibe we were looking for was 2010's night club dancing in stilettos on the booths, boiler room, high school prom, California hyphy (first fridays type), scream the song lyrics, but still getting low. Classy ratchet, not trashy ratchet, (LOL). As insane of a vibe as that is, HE DID IT!
*For my brides looking for a DJ! MC, dance floor lighting, his own nice white booth (aesthetically pleasing for all themes), sound system that worked very well for my 300 guest (15000 sqft venue) wedding. Dresses professionally, and speaks very clearly and respectfully!
DJ One Chance was AMAZING! He was very attentive to all of our requests and really nailed our vision for the day. So so so many compliments from guests about the DJ!

ibly lucky. He immediately got everyone to the dance floor which was packed with people the entire reception. One of my favorite moments was our entrance to the reception. DJ One Chance hyped up the whole room so our entrance was very high energy and we were so, so happy. This man is gifted at what he does. We found him from a wedding we attended where he was the talk of the reception and that quickly translated to our wedding where yet again he was the talk of the reception for how incredible he was. DJ One Chance, THANK YOU from Steven and Sarah. You helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect and we congratulate any future couple that gets the honor of having you DJ for their wedding day.
DJ One Chance made our wedding! He is well prepared, gets the crowd going, smooth transitions, and is an all around professional. He is a must for any event with music! Thank you!
