Chicago Bilingual Latin DJ
for Weddings, Entertainment, & Music
Chicago's Best Latin DJ
DJ Persist takes every event to the next level, as a Chicago-based bilingual wedding DJ specializing in all Latino events, including quinceñeras, multicultural weddings, and parties. DJ Persist has the passion, nightclub experience, and state-of-the-art sound system required to rock any dance floor.
Tired of listening to DJs that don’t play a broad range of Latin music or understand Latin traditions? DJ Persist is the ultimate Latin entertainment DJ. Our incredible playlists and add-ons are customized to suit you and your event. Whether you want an unforgettable wedding with La Hora Loca or a family-friendly quinceñera with a photo booth, we’ve got you covered.
Enjoy a Wide Range of Latin Music
DJ Persist isn’t your typical Latin wedding DJ (We won’t stick to playing suavemente or danza kuduro). We update our music selections multiple times a week to keep up with the latest hits. That said, our playlists aren’t restricted to whatever is currently on the charts. Depending on your personal preferences, DJ Persist can play mariachi, bolero, Spanish pop ballads, bachata, and romantic salsa.
Of course, those are just the favorite genres for cocktail and dinner parties. For dancing at a wedding or quinceñera, he can play reggaeton, merengue, salsa, cumbia, pop y rock en espanol, norteña, ranchera, banda, corridos, duranguense, cumbia, tamborazo, tejano, tribal, and more. He’ll also play crowd favorites like the Casper Slide, Caballo Dorado, and more at your request.
Electrify Any Party with La Hora Loca
La Hora Loca is one of many Latin traditions we love to embrace at your request. If you’re not familiar with La Hora Loca, it’s a Venezuelan tradition with some roots in Spain. Spanish for “the crazy hour,” La Hora Loca is essentially a party-within-the-party, occurring at wedding receptions, quinceñeras, graduations, and more.
La Hora Loca is meant to reignite a party through lights, bright colors, props, sirens, and incredible music. We currently offer a Hora Loca package for events with 100 guests, though you can multiply the price of the package per 100 guests to suit larger events. This package includes lots of fun and eye-catching props, such as LED glow batons, glow necklaces, glow bracelets, long balloons, plastic hats, and glasses, plus our CO2 gun! Many of our past clients have done this as an add-on with our LED robot.
Don’t Miss Out on Our DJ Add-Ons
La Hora Loca is just one of many services you can add to our DJ packages. Our other add-ons include uplighting, which can transform the ambiance of your event space, TV projection, a personalized monogram, an LED robot show, indoor sparkler machines, and a CO2 party cannon.
We also encourage you to take advantage of our photo booth rentals. Our photo booths can provide lasting memories for you and your guests for years to come. We currently offer three different types of photo booths for you to choose from — the roaming booth, social station, and classic booth. The three have a few major features in common, as they all offer unlimited photo sessions and include an on-site attendant. Compare and contrast the different models to find the photo booth best suited to you, your guests, and your event.

See What Our Clients Are Saying
“DJ Persist’s 3D Photobooth was a huge hit at our March 2024 wedding! My guests said they felt like they were at the Red Carpet! The booth was in use the entire night by people of all ages. Shortly after the wedding, DJ Persist sent us all of the footage from the photo booth, so my husband and I got to see the photos our guests were taking. The 3D photobooth is such a good idea for any party!”
“From the start DJ Persist was extremely helpful and detailed when helping me with booking the Photo Booth services. I appreciate the timely communication and will definitely use his services for any future events! Thanks again for all your help :-)”
