    Kelwin was the DJ and MC at my wedding reception. He was very responsive from our first inquiry, and at our in-person meeting before the wedding gave us peace of mind that our reception was in great hands. He did an amazing job keeping the reception on schedule and building energy in the room. We provided him with a list of songs we love. He did a great job playing our requests and adding in some great surprises to the mix. He got people out on the dance floor that I had never seen dance before in my life. I would highly recommend DJ Kel-Win!

    Dj Kelwin is a consummate professional, and I cannot say enough positive things about his role as MC/DJ at our wedding celebration. He brought tons of positive energy, and good vibes, with his announcements and music selection. He took time to listen to our needs when we met, and absolutely delivered on every item on our wish list! Needless to say, if we're in need of a DJ for any future events, we know who to call!

    DJ KEL-WIN was amazing. From our first experience with him, he made us feel comfortable and confident to take care of the music and MC duties for our wedding. Music was the top priority for our wedding and we had a variety of different music styles and songs that we wanted to hear throughout the night. Despite us providing limited guidance DJ KEL-WIN wove all of these into our ceremony and reception plans wonderfully as he served as the announcer and had us and all of our guests dancing all night long. His masterful choice of music during the ceremony broke everyone down and made the day that much more special.

    DJ Kelwin is the premiere Chicago DJ!! My wife and I got married in July and had heard about DJ Kelwin from another satisfied customer. He was incredible! … From my initial interaction with him, I could tell he had the utmost professionalism, diverse musical knowledge, and general upbeat attitude. … My wife is from Somalia, and he seamlessly intertwined some of her native influences into our music set. The party was JUMPING. … I can't recommend DJ Kelwin highly enough!
