Persian Wedding DJ in Chicago
Aghd to after-party — a DJ who knows the Persian wedding inside out, in Chicago.
A Persian wedding is two celebrations in one — the elegance of the Aghd and the all-out energy of the reception — and it takes a DJ who understands both. Chicago and its North Shore suburbs host a well-established Iranian-American community with a long tradition of grand Persian weddings.
Deejay AL reads a Persian room the way it needs to be read: the right tempo for the sofreh and Aghd, the classic 6/8 and Bandari that fill the floor, the Persian pop the aunties and uncles are waiting for, and the open-format Top 40, house, and hip-hop that keep the younger crowd dancing until the lights come up. Based in San Diego with a Las Vegas residency in the Tao Group family of venues, Al travels for the right celebration. Serving Chicagoland, from downtown to the North Shore and western suburbs — including Skokie, Naperville, Evanston — for weddings of every size.
Weddings in Chicago
Chicago weddings are classically grand — historic ballrooms, skyline venues, and North Shore country clubs built for a big-room dancefloor. The city and its suburbs hold a long tradition of large, multi-generational Persian weddings.
Popular Chicagoland venues range from The Drake Hotel, The Geraghty, Salvage One to private estates and family homes, and Al scales the production and run-of-show to fit the room.
Built for the Persian run-of-show
Aghd, knife dance, sabzeh, and grand entrance — Al cues each moment with the band, MC, and photographer so nothing feels rushed or missed.

Planning a Chicago wedding
The warm, reliable late-spring through early-fall window is peak; winter weddings move fully indoors against the cold. Big family guest lists are standard, so the music has to carry every generation.
