A Chicago Party DJ You Can Trust

Jay Congdon, Founder and President

A Chicago party DJ must be more than just a friend with an iPod.

Admit it. You know someone who tried to do his wedding like that, and who still tells the horror stories about that awful night -- the empty dance floor, and those long, awkward blocks of silence between songs while a bunch of people gathered around the iPod to argue about what to play next.

Doesn't your party deserve better than that?

A great Chicago party DJ with a great music selection will make your guests remember your big night for years! Why gamble your party on an amateur?

Here's why Fourth Estate Audio is recognized as the standard by which Chicago party DJs are measured:

Eight Reasons Why Chicago Trusts Fourth Estate for Parties of Distinction

Member of the Better Business Bureau.

As a BBB accredited business, we pledge to uphold the highest standards of business conduct. We keep the promises we make in our advertising. We always show up at the events for which we're contracted. And the BBB has an unmatched arbitration process in place for any disputes that may arise between client and vendor -- though in our company's history of more than four decades of service, no one has ever filed a complaint against us, for any reason. BBB membership means you can hire us with complete peace of mind. And of more than 2,000 people in Chicagoland who call themselves DJs, we're proud to be among only a handful that the BBB has awarded its perfect A+ rating.

A great music playlist.

We bring tens of thousands of hits to every party. Not just songs, but hit songs. Don't be fooled by DJs who say they have 250,000 "titles" or "selections" (for the record, we have more than 300,000 "titles," most of them album filler that we don't include in our online library). But what matters is whether we have your favorite songs. Take a look and see.

Easy access to that playlist.

In 1996, Fourth Estate Audio pioneered the concept of putting its entire song library online, and making it fully interactive. So you don't have to guess whether we have your favorite songs. You can pick them from the comfort and convenience of your own computer.

A proven track record.

We've done thousands of Chicago weddings, class reunions, birthdays, anniversary parties, corporate events, and the occasional Bar/Bat Mitzvah or Quinceanera. We're proud of the trust we've earned from our clients, some of whom book us for more than 60 parties a year.

State-of-the-art sound equipment.

Even the world's greatest music would be wasted on a second-rate sound system. So we invest in the best-- names like ElectroVoice, Numark, Crown, QSC, TOA, Peavey and more-- names that professional Chicago party DJs have come to trust for faithful sound reproduction.

We're people people. But we're not clowns.

A "wacky" DJ may be great for children's parties. But adults quickly grow tired of a DJ who demands all of their attention. Most parties call for a DJ with strong master-of-ceremonies skills and the wisdom to use his own words sparingly. You are the star of your party, not your DJ.

Personal service.

We offer each client unlimited contact with us while planning the party. And you'll have plenty of opportunity to share with your Chicago party DJ exactly how you'd like your event to proceed. By party time, your DJ will be a trusted friend, not a total stranger.

We're small.

Imagine a company actually bragging about such a thing. But in the DJ business, being too big means losing quality control. We have seven professional DJs, each with at least 15 years experience. And this is important: each DJ owns and maintains his own equipment and music library. So he takes his work seriously, and treats the client with respect. Unlike the giant companies, we don't just buy dozens of sound systems, and hire DJ's off the street to work for beer money. Our people are professionals. They're paid well. This is our business, not a hobby. You deserve no less.
