Founded in 2014 by Carlington Young and Eric Sampson, The DJ Firm was built on a simple mission: bring the best DJ talent together with the best service in the business, and change the narrative of what a wedding DJ could be. What started as a passion project between two friends has grown into one of Chicagoland's most trusted wedding entertainment companies — and a name couples across the Midwest are discovering for their own celebrations.

At its core, The DJ Firm is a full-scale entertainment company built on people, process, and performance. Every DJ on the roster is hand-selected and DJ Firm approved, so no matter which artist you book, you can expect the same level of talent, professionalism, and energy on your wedding day.

But The DJ Firm offers far more than a DJ behind the booth. Couples can layer in live musicians — saxophonists, violinists, live drummers, string and jazz ensembles, and full hybrid bands — for a truly custom sound from ceremony to last dance. Add-ons like uplighting, photo booths, and a 360 video booth round out the experience, making The DJ Firm a one-stop shop for wedding entertainment.

With a five-star reputation built, The DJ Firm's real specialty is reading a room — creating the kind of night guests talk about long after the last song plays. Whether it's an intimate backyard celebration or a grand ballroom affair, the team's goal remains the same: pack the dance floor and make it unforgettable.
