When planning an event in the lively city of Chicago, whether a birthday party, corporate celebration, or wedding, it is important to select the right entertainment, ensuring guests have an unforgettable experience. Plenty of options are available, from lively DJs to interactive photo booths. However, choosing entertainment that resonates with your guests and fits the theme of your event can take it to the next level!

Below are some top entertainment ideas that can make your next Chicago event a day to remember.

DJ Entertainment

When you need a professional DJ to entertain your guests, make sure Chicago DJs is your first choice. We are mobile disc jockeys serving the entire Chicagoland area, playing whatever you and your guests want to hear. With music from the ’50s up to today’s hits in every genre, our DJs can cater to wedding receptions, school dances, proms, homecomings, anniversary parties, birthday parties, and corporate events. A skilled DJ does more than play music; they read the crowd, adapt the playlist to keep the energy high, and interact with your guests to keep them dancing all night.

Photo Booths

Photo booths have skyrocketed in popularity in recent years despite the prevalence of social media platforms like Snapchat and Instagram. Why are they so popular? They’re inexpensive and customizable to fit your event space and needs and encourage fun with props. Photo booths take the work off you or your guests for capturing photos, allowing them to mingle and stay present in the experience. They fit almost anywhere, and everyone at your event can use them. The photos can also go online, allowing guests to share their fun instantly!

Michael Jackson Performance by Ed Hollis

Enhance your event with a show-stopping performance by the renowned Michael Jackson tribute artist Ed Hollis. Known for his electrifying dance moves and having performed across the nation, including Las Vegas and for THE Jackson family in Indiana, Ed brings Michael Jackson’s magic to life!

Uplighting

Transform your event from ordinary to extraordinary with room uplighting. With modern LED lighting technology, you’ll have a full-color spectrum to choose from. Create whatever ambiance you desire with mood lighting, or decorate your space in festive colors matching your event theme. The uplight fixtures are placed strategically throughout the room to create brilliant columns of light that beam up the wall or architectural fixtures. Uplights are a dazzling way to tie together your design and décor elements, making your event visually stunning.

Karaoke

Karaoke is a fantastic way to engage your guests and give the spotlight to those who love to perform. Chicago DJs bring thousands of songs, ensuring everyone can find something to enjoy. Karaoke adds a unique and interactive element to any event, encouraging participation and creating lively memories! At Chicago DJs, we can handle groups of any size, and you can even opt to have karaoke for just an hour or two as part of your event.

With these unique entertainment options, your next Chicago event will surely be a hit! At Chicago DJs, we provide full DJ sound, dance lighting, and/or karaoke systems, depending on what your event requires. We also have additional add-ons, including photo booths, Michael Jackson dance performances by Ed Hollis, and more!
