What parents say
The kids loved the face painting. Our artists were rockstars! Such professional, super service.
Oli the magician was amazing! So great with the kids, so funny, and he had all the adults scratching their heads in confusion trying to figure it out.
We had Maggie for face painting she was fantastic—the kids adored her, she worked beautifully and quickly, and was such a cheerful presence at the party.
How much does a kids party DJ cost per hour in Chicago?
About $434 on average for a kids' birthday booking (The Bash, 2026). Those are other companies' published rates: no Chicago kids party DJ has listed a Yombu rate yet, and you always see the exact total before you pay.
How many kids party DJs are available in Chicago?
Yombu is onboarding kids party DJs in Chicago now. Tell us your date and we'll match you with the right vetted local pro — within 24 hours.
Do kids party DJs near me travel to Aurora, Cook County and Dupage County?
Yes — Aurora, Cook County and Dupage County are inside the Chicago area Yombu covers. We're onboarding Chicago kids party DJs now, and we match you with one whose travel radius reaches your address.
How far in advance should I book a kids party DJ in Chicago?
Two to three weeks ahead covers a weekday or morning slot; book further out for a peak Saturday afternoon. DJs tend to book out weekend afternoons first, especially in spring and early summer birthday season. Yombu is still onboarding Chicago kids party DJs, so we match these parties by hand and more notice means more choice; last-minute is still worth asking.
What should I expect from kids party DJs in Chicago?
In Chicago, a kids party DJ is typically a 60–120 minute booking: dance games, sing-alongs and a mic that keeps the room moving. A kids party DJ runs the room like a game-show host, not a wedding DJ on autopilot — musical chairs, freeze dance, limbo and sing-alongs that actually get six-year-olds off the wall and onto the dance floor. Bookings typically run 1–2 hours, and the DJ brings their own speaker and mic setup, so all you need is an outlet and a bit of open floor.
How long should I book a kids party DJ?
Most kids' parties need one to two hours of music and games. The Bash's cost guide reports that its kids' birthday DJ bookings average about 3.5 hours, so ask for a shorter package if your party is only two hours long.
What ages does a kids party DJ work best for?
The sweet spot is roughly 5 to 12 — old enough to follow dance-game instructions and young enough to still find a DJ leading a conga line thrilling. Many DJs read the room and adjust the music and games once they see who's actually up dancing.
Their best birthday starts here.
