We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny! Highly recommend “Like a Prayer” by Madonna to get all generations singing along!! Photo Credit to our epic photographer, Victoria of An Endless Pursuit

DJ Justin absolutely crushed it! From the very first conversation, he was so easy to talk to and completely understood my obscure “millennial with a boomer’s taste in music” vibes. He curated the perfect playlist that had everyone—from every generation—on the dance floor all night long. Beyond the music, Justin was instrumental in keeping everything on track. I completely lost all sense of time after the ceremony, but he kept the evening flowing seamlessly—from cocktail hour to our final song—without ever making it feel rushed or rigid. He checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed, which we really appreciated. Justin was an absolute blast to work with, and I can’t recommend him enough if you want a DJ who’s both fun and incredibly on top of things!

Huge shout out to Boogie Time Entertainment and Matthew Brulla for making our special day absolutely perfect! From the moment we contacted him to the day of the event, Matt was always just a text away and always answered immediately. Matt is also an extremely talented musician in his own way and always puts his own little spin on every event. We loved that he could make every little thing feel even more special.

Sound Dimensions Disc Jockeys™ is an Award Winning DJ service that is creative in our approach to your wedding. Offering a variety of main services including DJs, MCs, Uplighting Design and Photobooth solutions. Extensive planning to understand your personalities, expectations and your guests. World class sound, concert level lighting and Male/Female teams. All of it combined to create a professional, unique, and memorable celebration ! Let us create a distinguished, memorable experience for you...on the "biggest stage" of all... your wedding day! Most importantly, let's make your event Uniquely Original™!

Sound Dimensions was worth every penny! When we started looking for a DJ service for our wedding, most were not personal and just sent us a quote without getting any detail except the date and location. Joe at Sound Dimensions asked to talk first to make sure they were quoting us what we needed. After that first phone call my mind was made up. Joe spent time getting to know us, our style and what we wanted. The in-depth meeting prior to the wedding to go over details really highlighted how detail oriented the team is and how much they cared about us! We had ceremony music as well as dinner music and our reception. The ceremony site was a small location and the sound was incredible and they set it up as to not take up any of the limited seating room. Through our night Joe and Kory made sure everything ran smoothly. They kept it fun and moving and completely tailored to our taste. I so much appreciated that Kory checked in with me through the night to make sure things were going well. I can't stress enough how important having an experienced, talented DJ that truly cares makes such a big difference! This was an easy choice to make and I would recommend them to anyone!

SoundFire DJ 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,295
  • Serves Ephraim, WI

When it has to be "once-in-a-lifetime". SoundFire DJ was established with a single goal in mind: to bring the next-level DJ experience to the Northeast Wisconsin market. A market that has otherwise only experienced DJs that emulated the radio, or what a regular person could do with an iPod. Now, more than ever, having a big music library isn't what matters about a DJ. It's about having a creative professional that knows how to lead a party, and bring it to a successful outcome with amazing results and a touch of class!

Soundfire DJ did an exceptional job with our wedding on July 11, 2020 in Door County. The detail and hard work that was put into our ceremony and reception was really what put SFDJ above any other wedding DJ I have experienced. Shawn was excellent with talking to our guests and staying open to schedule changes throughout the night. He kept in contact with me throughout the entire wedding and was super fun and brought a great energy! Tyler’s music was amazing. I loved that he fused a bunch of songs that we requested together to make it more fun. He read the room and would play slow songs or fast songs at perfect times. Requests were always granted and they had an awesome selection of songs available. I loved that we were able to make playlists beforehand with their easy-to-use website. I also appreciated that we would get monthly emails with general wedding reminders of what is typically done that month during wedding planning. That was super helpful for myself who did not hire a wedding planner and had zero experience with planning events. SFDJ truly helped make our special day absolutely perfect, regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since our wedding in 2020, we have been to several weddings of our friends and family that used SFDJ simply because of the experience they had at our wedding! I look forward to going to other events in the future with you guys!

One of the best DJ'S EVER! We used HiMotive Entertainment for our wedding and when I tell you that these people are professional, I mean it.

I'm talking people getting picked up on shoulders phenomenal. I still have family members messaging me a week back telling me how much they loved the DJ and MC.

Soundwave DJs know how to make the party happen!! I am not usually one to dance at a wedding, but I never left that dance floor! Brian was incredible. I was pretty specific (like creating playlists of the songs I wanted played) and he was all over it! He was supportive and followed everything we wanted with grace and excellence! Originally we spoke to a few DJs who all told us that we shouldn’t make playlists and it should depend on the crowd, which we just aren’t that couple. We wanted certain music played because we knew our guests and what would keep them on the dance floor. When we shared our past interview experiences with Brian, he said, “I don’t roll that way. It’s about you.” He made us feel so validated and comfortable and excited for the day! He was great about communicating with us on the day and making sure that what we wanted happened! He had people packed on the dance floor until the very last minute. He was jamming out with us as he was DJing. I would seriously urge anyone to book with Soundwave DJs and I cant say enough about how positive our experience was with him!

Having a little part in making something truly special that your guests will truly cherish and never forget – is what DRIVES us.

We truly couldn’t recommend Sound Sensations more highly! Ed and Logan were incredible to work with from start to finish. Keeping our guests engaged and the energy high throughout the reception was a top priority for us, and they absolutely delivered. One of our favorite parts of the process was having the ability to be so hands-on with the music selection. Creating custom playlists for cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception made it easy to communicate exactly what we wanted, and they brought it to life perfectly. Their monthly checklists and reminder emails also kept us organized and on track during the planning process, which we really appreciated. Coming from a multicultural background, it was especially important that our music reflected that. Logan was extremely receptive to our input, especially when it came to incorporating Hispanic music. He really encouraged us to take the lead to ensure the correct music was incorporated. We met with him the week of the wedding to finalize everything, which gave us complete peace of mind going into the big day. On the wedding day itself, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Logan had everything handled seamlessly. He understood our vision completely: keep the dance floor full and the party going. And he exceeded expectations. The dance floor was packed all night, and even guests who don’t typically dance were out there having a great time! A week later, our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was and how great Logan was. If you choose Sound Sensations, you can feel confident you’re in excellent hands.
