I want to tell all of the brides out there about what a great company Stax O Wax is. I found them WeddingWire and read all of their reviews. I was hooked. I call them right away, and they were very friendly and informative over the phone. I then made an appointment to meet with them at their office, and again they were very professional & friendly. My fiance & I decided to book them that night.They have an online planning form that really helped us set up the different things for our wedding (first dance, father daughter, bouquet & garter toss, etc..). It was very easy to use.At the reception, I had the "Signature" package with 1 dj and 1 assistant, and I have to tell you, it was worth its weight in gold to have that second person there. It was so nice that the assistant (Nick) kept coming up to us to inform us of what was coming up next while the dj (Curt) kept the dance floor going. Everyone had such a great time. Even my parents said that they have never had so much fun at a wedding before, and they hate djs. My mom finally admitted that she can't wait until the next family wedding in February that is using Stax O Wax also. I would say that it should be a very easy decision to make when you are looking for a dj. It must be Stax O Wax every time. Thanks again guys, you did a great job!

OMG they are so good! I just had them for my wedding on August 14th, and they deserve a "Perfect 10". I went all out with my budget on the dj, because I have always believed that the most important part of the wedding was the dj. That's why I hired Stax O Wax to: dj, do the room uplighting, and make my montage that we showed at my wedding.I saw them seven years ago at my sister's wedding, and they made such an impression on me, I said that when I get married, I'm using Stax O Wax. So when I got engaged, I called them and hired them right away. They are very easy to talk to, the planning forms are easy to use, and being able to listen to the music as you're picking it off of their music database was really cool.At the reception, the room looked awesome. The uplighting matched the bridesmaid dresses, and I got so many compliments about how beautiful the room looked. THe montage made everyone laugh, they all loved it. The djs were incredible. All of the songs I requested were played, and I never left the dance floor all night long, my feet still hurt. :) I liked that the djs kept checking with me throughout the night to see how things were going and if I needed anything. Everything was perfect! If I have any advise for anyone shopping out there, it is to make sure that you don't cheap out on the entertainment. I went with all the best things that Stax O Wax has to offer, and I will never regret it.

I was recommended to Stax O Wax by a colleague and was absolutely thrilled! They were so professional and totally put my mind at ease when it was time to make the party happen! They checked in with me throughout the evening to make sure everything was going just how I wanted. Curt was fantastic and I absolutely recommend them!!

Stax O Wax was recommended to my by my hairstylist. She had told me that the guests at her wedding all raved about the DJ and many of her other friends had them at their weddings! I took that as making a great choice for my wedding. My husband and I chose Stax O Wax for our wedding and we could not have been happier. Both Curt and Sean were always so easy to talk to when I called them before the wedding. They were very helpful and I never felt like I was bothering them with some of my silly questions. They were very informative, so I felt very at ease before the wedding. After the ceremony, Curt came and introduced himself. He was so kind and professional at the same time. He always made sure that we were happy with what was going on with the music. He was even so grateful that we had a seat for him to eat with us for dinner, which made us even happier that we had a seat reserved for him at a table. The music was great the rest of the night. People were dancing until the very END! It was amazing! He played a great selection and when he noticed that no one was dancing at a song, he switched it up right away until people got back out on the dance floor (which was a song later...ha) My husband Joe and I would SO recommend Stax O Wax for any event. You will NOT go wrong by choosing them for your next event!

They were fantastic. I am so happy with customer service that I received. They always returned phone calls and emails right away. They played all the music I requested and more. They were very friendly to my guests. Everyone had a great time. I have three friends that are getting married, and one of them already hired them, and the other two want them too. I highly recommend them.

Stax o Wax was recommended to us by several people who had had them DJ their weddings. They went above and beyond for us and exceeded all our expectations. Music is such a huge part of the wedding and our music was just perfect, no one ever left the dance floor and people were wanting to dance before dinner was over! Shawn did such a wonderful job making our wedding flow beautifully and it really felt as if he got who we were as a couple and the music our friends and family would love. We got rave reviews about our wedding and how amazing the music was. I have recommended them to several couples whos weddings are coming up and if we ever have another event where a DJ is needed they will be the ones we call.

Curt and the team at Stax O Wax did an amazing job! The dance floor was full the entire night, everyone had a blast. They were very well organized and everything went smoothly from the planning til the end of the reception. They also provided uplighting for me, which really helped the room look elegant. I would highly recommend Stax O Wax to any bride and groom that is looking for a great reception and a lot of fun dancing!

I have a reputation of being very picky when it comes to running things. Stax was very easy to work with and gave good music suggestions for my reception. Being an over planner, I called them at least 20 times in the last couple weeks before my wedding, and they always answered my questions without an attitude. They were the only company that I hired that made me feel that way. My florist did the flowers and invitations, and they made me feel like I was bothering them every time I called. I will follow up with a review on them later.After everything is said and done, I would hire Stax O Wax again for any one of the parties that I may have in the future, and I suggest that you do too!pychobeotch

Stax was the best thing that we did for our wedding, even better than the food. They were very helpful, quick to return all emails, phone calls, and really put me at ease every time I talked with them. I really liked picking the music with all of their music and plannig forms being online. Two of my groomsmen are getting married later this year, and said that my wedding made it easy on them for picking a dj. Stax O Wax is a MUST!!!!Mike P.

I am so happy to be writing this review. Stax-o-Wax did an incredible job at my wedding. I got their name from a friend, and the instant I talked with them, I knew that I had the right dj for my wedding. From the early planning stages, to the confirmation call the week before, they always seemed to be happy to take my phone calls and emails, and answer all of my questions. They gave me great suggestions on songs for night. The djs walked me through all the different events during my reception, so I didn't have to worry about anything. It was like I had a wedding planner right there. I never left the floor. I had so much fun.We also hired Stax-o-Wax to do the uplighting in our room. I saw the video on their website, and immediately fell in love with idea of my room being lit up with all the colors of the rainbow. It was just like the video, but better. I would have never dreamed that you can take a banquet room and turn it into something so beautiful by just adding lights. I walked into my room before my cocktails started, and saw the room glowing the color pink that my bridesmaids were wearing. I was so happy, I began to cry. It was exactly what I was looking for. It was absolutely beautiful. The colors changed slowly throughout dinner, and when it came to the dancing, WOW! I couldn't believe it! The whole room was dancing. It was worth every penny. I still have people telling me how great my wedding was. They mention two things, the great music and how cool the lighting in the room was. I owe it all to Stax-o-Wax. I will always refer them to anyone needing a dj.

Where do I even begin??? If you don't book Stax O Wax...you're crazy!Shawn was our DJ and was absolutely incredible! We filled out all of the online stuff and when Shawn and I talked the week of the wedding we finalized all of the details that we wanted. He discussed what he thought would and would not work and offered some great suggestions!He is so thourough with everything, quadruple checked everything with me, kept me in the loop on what was going on through the whole evening, and was ALWAYS checking on us to make sure we were happy!He was so easy to work with and was so patient with us with last minute changes at the actual recpetion. The music was GREAT! Everyone is talking about how much fun they had. The dance floor was constantly packed! He played everything we wanted and then some. For a little while there wasn't anyone dancing because we realized everyone was outside taking a breather because they had been dancing so much! When we asked him to pick up the music a little bit and change the tone, he did instantly and the dance floor was packed again! Right up until the last song. He even played music my friends and I hadn't heard since high school! Some of my friends even say that songs they didn't like before, they do now, because it reminds them of how much fun they had at our wedding.Shawn was so accommodating when my Dad wanted to incorporate the Blackhawks Stanley Cup championship into some things that involved the DJ. He totally went along with it with no complaints. He made our grand entrance one no one will ever forget!You will be really sorry if you don't book Stax o Wax and ask for Shawn!!!

My husband & I are so happy with our choice for a dj. We shopped around quite a bit, and noticed that after doing some research and reading reviews, Stax o wax had an awesome reputation. They were very friendly, they helped me with my planning and music. They kept checking with me, and asking me throughout the night if everything was going ok. I really liked that a lot! Everything was perfect.

Stax O Wax was amazing at our wedding!!!! We had the ultimate package with uplighting and a photo montage and all 3 were more than we could have ever imagined! I'm not saying this because it was my wedding but I have literally never gone to a wedding where people wanted to dance before the first dance happened and the whole floor filled up right after all the special dances (First dance, dad & daughter etc.) This was all because of Stax O Wax. They got the party moving, had an amazing dinner show that made dinner not so awkward for the guests sitting with other guests that they did not know. All and all, I couldn't have wished for a better DJ!

They were amazing!! Very helpful, they made my husband and me look like pros at the wedding. Gave great advice and were very helpful. They made our day a dream come true. Everyone loved the music and still are talking about our wedding. They made sure the music continue to reflect the mood of the wedding. PERFECT!! :)

Their suggestions for my ceremony music were great. The ceremony was beautiful. I really had fun picking music for the reception with their music list being on line. They were very friendly over the phone, and seemed to return my emails within minutes of me sending them. Now that's what I call service. I never had to wait for a response like my sister did with the dj company that she hired for her wedding. My sister told me that she was jealous of the quick response, the great service, & how much fun our wedding was compared to hers. I had absolutely no problems with the ceremony, reception, or service I received. Stax-o-wax was just incredible! They deserve all the awards they get. I am going to tell everyone about them.

Shawn was our DJ at our wedding reception on May 1st, 2010! We saw a Stax O' Wax DJ perform at a friends wedding and decided to give them a call. Communication was excellent from the start. We planned our wedding from out-of-state and their planning website is great and easy to use. I picked 2 songs that were not on the list and Shawn made sure they were available and used them at my wedding without hassle or question! Shawn was friendly, punctual and professional. He was awesome and most importantly he kept everyone on schedule! Not to mention the music was wonderful and everyone had an absolute blast! I would hire Stax O' Wax again in an instant!

The planning forms were easy to use. I did most of the planning from work. When I called to ask questions, they were always helpful and nice. My dj went out of the way to make sure I knew what to do and when. He asked me a half dozen times during the night how things were going. I really thought that was great! The music was exactly the way I always pictured it. I can't say enough positive things about Stax O Wax. They really live up to their slogan, "The Perfect Dj for the Perfect Wedding".

I'm sorry that it has taking me so long to write my review about Stax O Wax, because everyone should know about them. I saw them at my aunts wedding eight years ago, and forgot about them until I started to look for my own wedding. I called my aunt to ask her dj was ,and instantly, she said Stax O Wax. She was so happy with them, that she remembered their name right away. I looked them up on the internet and called them right away. I was pleasantly surprised that I actually talked to a human during the day when I could call on my lunch break. They were very pleasant, professional, and willing to answer my questions. I knew I made the right choice.The reception was awesome! I had Stax O Wax do the uplighting in my room, and it was worth every penny. My guest couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the room looked. I actually had my uncle say "WOW"!!!!! when the lights changed colors when the dancing began. The music was perfect! They played all of my favorite songs, and didn't seem to be bothered by me changing my mind 20 different times during the evening. I will always refer them to anyone looking for a dj. Hire them, you won't be sorry.Mel
