James Mastrino

"James is incredibly flexible with your requests and with his day spent on the day of your event. We hired him for our June wedding during peak wedding season and changed the schedule and song requests last minute. He was incredibly accommodating and even gave us a private last dance of the night. He dj’ed our ceremony too and was pretty much present the ENTIRE day from 11am until 11pm. Could not recommend him highly enough!

Oh and a bonus he is incredibly affordable considering the price of other DJs in our area !"

"Awesome DJ and made our wedding extremely memorable, by keeping the music going and reading the room wonderfully!"

"DJ UJ is amazing. He should charge more, it’s absurd"

"Great guy who always does a fantastic job!"

"Did an incredible job at our wedding! Would absolutely choose him again if we did it all over."

"James did such an amazing job MCing our wedding day, and making sure the vibes were high all night long. From the cocktail hour until our very last last dance, he made sure everyone was having an enjoyable night. We’d recommend him to everyone getting married in the Chicago land area!"

"Jimmy was WONDERFUL! We hired him for our wedding at the Brix on the Fox and he truly helped to bring our vision to life and make it the best day ever! He communicated clearly and often, created a mashup for our dad/daughter dance, and answered all our questions! We had a few minor mishaps during the wedding, but he was so flexible and covered for us so well that none of our guests noticed. From planning to wedding night he was wonderful to work with, we could not recommend him enough he made our wedding SO FUN!!!"

"Great DJ!! The dance floor was packed and everyone had such a great time. James also found an acoustic version of our recessional song and coordinated a last dance for us while our guests lined up for the sparkler send off. We got married 4 years ago and that’s still one of my favorite memories."

"Jimmy is a great DJ and an amazing person. He knows his audience and always makes everyone have a great time!"

"Jimmy was amazing! I recommend him to people I know getting married! HE MADE THE RECEPTION A PARTY!! I’ve been to way too many weddings that needed him! Don’t even think about it just use Jimmy!!

He was literally amazing and we couldn’t thank him enough!!"

"James (DJ UJ) is one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding. That’s not only our thought, but also the thought of our guests. He is phenomenal at what he does both technologically, musically, and administratively. He kept the party going and moving through both his music and his MC skills. My husband and I take music very seriously, and it was a big and very meticulously thought out part of our day. We included special songs to us, to our family, to our culture, and gave overall vibes we wanted each segment to feel like. James delivered on that and then exceed our expectations even more. HIRE HIM. His prices are fair, his candor is amazing, his planning website is helpful and we couldn’t recommend him enough!"
