A Chicago based DJ that has worked events in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York City, Miami, and Internationally.

Graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana and Tulane University in New Orleans, this former social worker knows a good party.

DJ Chriss was so great to work with for my husband and I's wedding day. We really took our time to create a more modern wedding playlist from ceremony, to cocktail hour, and into reception as we wanted a more upbeat and lively atmosphere that is in sync with who we are as a couple rather than your standard classic wedding playlist we've heard over and over that we can't really dance to the way we would like. He listened to us and appreciated the list we sent over while understanding our taste and adding some songs to it throughout the wedding day that made for an amazing time that our guests can't stop talking about! -Kristin and Ryan Roberts 6.25.22

Awarded Best of Zola
We were lucky enough to have The Hook Club as our dj and band at our wedding. Dan and the team were so easy to work with and took the time to get to know us and throw an amazing show on our big day. We’re 2 brides and it was important for us to find a diverse and queer band. There were no other bands that even came close. They’re such talented musicians and downright awesome people. We’ve even become friends with several members of the band after we started working with them. We had envisioned classical strings during our ceremony, a jazzy upbeat vibe during cocktail hour, and a bumping dance party during the reception. The Hook Club was able make that all come true with their amazing cast of skilled musicians. They even helped logistically during the reception in terms of advising us to break up toasts so that there aren’t too many all at once. So many people came up to us to tell us how rad the band was. If you’re on their page, look no further. This is your band.

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

Cuarteto Guataca is AMAZING. Every single member of this group is an absolute joy to work with, and their talent is beyond words! Cuarteto was our wedding band, and I don’t think anyone sat down the entire reception! Hire them now!!
