“Choosing ‘Groove is in the Heart’ was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Evan took the time to get to know us, the vibe we were going for, and the music we love. He completely nailed it. The music of our entire evening was perfect, but once the party really started, Evan kept the momentum going and made sure everyone had an amazing time. Our friends still talk about how awesome the energy of our dance party was. For us, it’s an incredible memory. Thanks, Evan!

Groove is in the Heart and DJ Clare were the perfect pick for our wedding! Our communication was fun, collaborative, and effective. She picked up on things mentioned in toasts and conversation and incorporated them into the music of the evening. She matched the vibe of what we wanted and elevated it. The dance floor was packed all night and guests raved about the music!
-Will & Julia
Best decision made! We hosted an event for 75 people, and DJ Jessi was phenomenal. She was incredibly easy to collaborate with, and she knew exactly how to keep the energy going. One guest said they felt transported to a Miami lounge. We cannot thank DJ Jessi / Groove is in the Heart enough for bringing the party vibes to our event! -Jennifer Minkow

Our Process: How We Bring the Groove to Your Event
Your Vibe, Our Expertise
No matter the occasion - a corporate gathering, a milestone birthday party, or a special celebration - the music sets the tone. We are not just DJs; we are music curators dedicated to crafting the perfect soundtrack for your unique event. Our professional DJ services in Chicago are designed to make your party unforgettable.
Step 1: The First Meeting
From the moment you book with us, we’ll set up a one-on-one meeting with your assigned DJ. We want to hear all about your vision, the mood you want to create, and the kind of energy you're looking for. This is where we learn about your favorite artists, the genres you love, and any music you want to steer clear of. We'll start building a custom playlist that’s as unique as your event.
Step 2: The Perfect Playlist for Your Chicago Event
We’ll give you access to our company Spotify account, so you can easily add song ideas as they come to you. Your DJ will also provide their expert recommendations, combining your tastes with their knowledge of what makes for a killer party. Together, we'll create a seamless timeline for your event, ensuring the music flows perfectly from start to finish.
Step 3: Day-Of Execution
On the day of your event, your DJ will arrive early with our professional sound system and equipment to make sure everything is set up and tested long before your guests arrive. We can also serve as your MC, making important announcements and keeping the event on schedule. Then, when it’s time to get the party started, we’ll read the room and adjust the music in real-time to keep your guests on the dance floor and having the time of their lives.
