I am a photographer and Dennis is on the top of my list of recommendations! Not only is he a joy to work with and be around, he's extremely professional and literally loves doing this job. ALL my couples love Dennis, always happy to help and step in even when it's not his job. We had a wedding together earlier this year and the seating chart was printed wrong and he stepped in and took it upon himself to call off the list and guide each guest to their correct table. Hands down the best DJ and human in the area. If you do one thing, HIRE DENNIS! You will not regret it.

DJ Obie

5.0

Moline, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Des Moines, IA

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

DJ Obie created a magical and fun environment for every single guest at a NYE wedding that I attended. He did an incredible job of getting the entire room of people excited to be there. His energy is contagious. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their event to the next level!

Indianola, IA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,295
  • Serves Des Moines, IA

Born from a long time love of music, an entrepreneurial spirt, and an eye for design and organization ASE DJ was started 18 years ago. Tim, a musician and savvy entrepreneur immediately saw a need in the DJ industry for a professional approach to great weddings and with Missi’s eye for design, organization, and marketing they have grown to be the midwest’s most requested Wedding Entertainment Company with 3 locations and an amazing team of people. A true "American Dream” story; their once “side hustle” has blossomed into a full time growing business that also employs their children and is still sparking their creativity to this day.

ASEDJ was a great part of our wedding day! The booking process was thorough and our venue preview with them was smooth and our questions were answered. The provided website with a timeline helped us truly navigate the smaller details of the day. The uplighting they provided set the mode perfectly. It was our DJ’s first Hindu Wedding and he tackled that challenge head on and did great. He was flexible getting our wedding back on schedule and adjusted to changes with ease.
