Rios Mios Events 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Effingham, IL

I love creating a fun, professional, and most importantly unique atmosphere for my clients. Collaborating with people is truly my passion, and when that collaboration entails music, entertainment, and positivity I am at my best! From live music for your ceremony to country or EDM themed receptions. We come together with you to create a wedding that feels like "yours"

Out of the 100 DJs I’ve worked with over the years, Derek is truly in a class of his own. He’s the most professional, detail-oriented, and downright fun “make-you-want-to-dance-all-night” DJ I’ve ever met. He takes the time to really get to know each couple and goes above and beyond to ensure their reception timeline runs seamlessly. Whenever we coordinate an event together, I like to joke that I can just sit back and relax—because I know Derek is on top of everything. What sets him apart is that he doesn’t just stay behind the booth; he’s out on the dance floor doing line dances with your guests, belting out Taylor Swift, and getting the crowd hyped up. I can’t recommend him enough. If you book with Rios Mios, you won’t just get an incredible DJ—you’ll leave your wedding day with a new friend.

We were thrilled with the Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! Owen was fantastic to work with - he was prompt, organized, and enthusiastic in his communication. We splurged on adding a sax player and were so glad we did - it really brought an extra layer of talent and fun. The band absolutely nailed our preferred musical vibe. As soon as the music started, the dance floor filled up and stayed packed all night long! The set list matched our taste perfectly. The band brought a highly professional yet fun energy that kept the party going. Their musicianship was top-notch and their song selection had something for all our guests to enjoy.

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

  • Serves Effingham, IL

I've been a DJ since 1997 starting out on the radio in college rotating between the morning wake-up, afternoon drive and late night. I have been DJing weddings since 2005 and I love watching soon-to-be newlyweds, their friends, and families enjoy themselves and being responsible for leading those once in a lifetime moments.

First, Nate, thank you for making our wedding dreams come true. Not only did our family and friends love and adore you, but you also redefined what it means to go above and beyond and care about people. That is simply what Nate does best. There aren't enough paragraphs to describe our experience with Nate. He always went out of his way to care for us. We were the priority. The process leading up to our wedding was so smooth. We always looked forward to our meetings with Nate. He made them fun and introspective, and he's highly accessible. From our first meeting, my now wife and I were hooked. He has a wonderful personality, and he never stopped caring about us. He made sure that our vision was met and executed to perfection. Also, the extra attention to detail was the icing on the cake. He listened to our vision and music choices and helped make our wedding possible. What is so great about Nate is that we never once felt like we were a number. Through this process, we all became family. In terms of the ceremony and reception, everything was perfect. The audio, the music, the vibes, and especially the beautiful uplighting were immaculate because of Nate. Not once did his energy drop, if anything, he made sure the party continued, and it did. He took control and didn't miss a beat on our special day. Nate understood exactly what to play, and he made our day easier. That's exactly what a DJ is supposed to do and then some. Also, his love and knowledge of music is just phenomenal. I know the themes of this review have been about family, caring, and service, and that's exactly what you get from Nate. Also, we had an amazing saxophone player who was fantastic. He's a great addition to Nate's platform. Let me say this. If we could get married again, Nate would automatically be the person we'd go with. There's no one like Nate, and there won't be. Nate is special and is truly one-of-a-kind. He creates memories, and we're just waiting to be able to have him as a DJ at another family function. He deserves all of the stars, likes, you name it. His YouTube page is amazing as well. Like I said, he is family now, and we love you, Nate! Which is why Nate Jones will always be our DJ.
