Okyne Medialab | Redefining the Wedding DJ™

NO CHEESE.

Remember your cousins wedding DJ? The one who broke out the costumes for the Y.M.C.A. and made the groomsmen do a dance? That guy that was talking on the microphone all night in his annoying “DJ voice”? The one who played the same tired songs that no one wanted to dance to?

Yeah…that’s not us.

PAY HOW YOU LIKE.

We try to make everything as easy as possible…even when giving us money. We accept all major credit cards, personal checks and big bags of cash. You can pay online through this website, in person with our iPhone app (very cool) or even snail mail.

REAL DJ’S.

Walk into any [decent] bar or club in Chicago and you will see the DJ using either Serato Scratch Live or Traktor Scratch Pro digital DJ software. Since we are inherently bar / club DJ’s, we of course use these programs as well. As much as we love , no iTunes DJ’s here.

PLANNING ON THE GO.

We know you’re busy. We know you’ve got lots going on with the planning of your wedding. We know you don’t want to call or email us everytime you have a change or update. So you can do it all online. Plan your events, pick your songs and create your timeline. All from your Mac, iPad or iPhone (I suppose it’ll work on a PC or droid too if you must).

I’ve never hired a DJ before. What do I do?
