Stax O Wax DJ Productions

When I was searching for vendors for my wedding I was very skeptical of everyone. Stax o wax exceeded my expectations in every way. They were very quick at responding to emails, they were very helpful in helping me to plan, and the night of could not have been better. Shawn kept me ontime which was ggreat because it was easy to get caught up talking. Once the dancing started I am not sure I ever sat down. I danced all night. Stax o wax definitely gave me the party I was looking for! I would recommend them to everyone I know without fear.

I saw Stax O Wax at a friends wedding several years back and they truly were the best I had ever seen. The music they played during dinner was not your typical easy listening stuff and the DJ’s themselves were entertaining, beyond the music and lights! For the actual dancing, they played a nice mix of modern and older music, appealing to everyone that was there and of course, the DJ’s kept the party fun.
When it came time for my own wedding, I HAD to call Stax O Wax to see if they would come out here to the boondocks (Sterling…2+ hours from where they are based in Cary). Shawn answered my email almost immediately and sent me their pricelist, which shows the different packages they offer. He was very upbeat and professional the couple of times that I spoke to him, assuring me that it was no problem for them to travel for a wedding or other event. Unfortunately, their asking price was more than we had budgeted for our DJ, so I had to tell him thanks but no thanks but if money had been no object, I would have hired them in a second, including paying the extra money they needed for traveling this far — they are THAT good. Not being able to hire Stax O Wax was really the only disappointment of my wedding, I would definitely suggest them to anyone for any event!

I saw Stax O Wax at a friend’s wedding in the Chicago ‘burbs, and after seeing them I didn’t even bother to look at other DJs for my own wedding in Chicago.
Both Curt and Shawn are very professional and very quick to respond to any questions. When you call them, an actual person answers (it was always either Curt or Shawn when I called). I bought the 4 Star Wedding package and added an additional performance hour and a set of uplights. Their pricing on the uplights is extremely reasonable, because instead of paying for a separate lighting company and their delivery/​setup charge, it was wrapped into the cost of the Stax setup, and they were already coming.
Music-​wise, you can fill in requests and special songs online ahead of time, and they play them. But they stay on top of current music trends, mixing up old and new songs, and switching between slow and dance stuff. With these guys in charge, there was never any need to force people out to the dance floor. Everyone had an amazing time and kept telling me the DJs were great. Also, they posted some great photos and a video montage on facebook — I wasn’t expecting that.
A couple important things to know — they do charge an extra fee to come into Chicago (they are in Cary after all) and if there’s a hard setup location (lots of stairs, etc). And they only accept cashiers checks, certified checks, or cash for payment.
Can’t say enough good things about this group!
