Dietrich Entertainment

“Dietrich Entertainment DJ'd our daughter's wedding and was absolutely amazing. Kyle was extremely organized and professional. He met with our daughter and her fiance ahead of time to get a feel for their likes and dislikes. He arrived the day of the wedding with high energy and kept the dance floor packed all night. We had multiple compliments on how great and organized he was. He kept the reception flowing and on time from the moment the bride and groom arrived, announcing them and their bridal party, giving speeches, cake cutting, first dance, etc. He had a great mix of music that everyone loved and kept the dance floor full until the very end when everyone chanted "One more song, one more song" Our daughter and her husband had an amazing, memorable evening and Kyle was a huge part of that. The smiles on their faces said it all! If you are looking for a DJ that has high energy, good music, organization and great people skills, look no further! Dietrich Entertainment is the BEST!!!”

Connexion Band

“The Connexion Band really made our wedding special and got everyone out on the dance floor. We let the band choose what songs to play and they killed it! They read the room and the audience very well. Ray was very responsive to all of my questions and easy to work with. I would highly recommend if music and dancing is important to your wedding guests. They added another element of fun to the night.”

The Downtown Collective

Band or Ensemble
Starts at $7,900
Serves Essex, IA for additional fees

The Downtown Collective Band was established in 2016 as just a couple of guys who wanted to jam out in the attic. We started by getting some small gigs here and there doing hybrid DJ/live music performances. Then we found friends from music school at UNL that played instruments and made the jam bigger and got more gigs. Now we are known as one of the top bands in the Midwest. We love playing live music because you get a much more authentic experience with people actually playing instruments and connecting with the crowd! All of our past clients agree- Downtown Collective is a high energy group that gets everyone dancing!

“The Downtown Collective was absolutely outstanding and exceeded our expectations in every way. Their communication was excellent and professional from start to finish. The quality of their work and value was exceptional - the energy was amazing, their vocals were outstanding, and they were a true class act. Our guests raved about them all night long. Behind the scenes, they were communicative and great to work with. This band nailed it, and the energy was insane. If you're thinking of booking them, do it now - you'll be so thankful you did. Thank you, Downtown Collective, for helping us throw an amazing celebration!”

“Bill and John did a wonderful job for mine and my Husbands special day. From the very first phone call, Bill was very informative and reassuring that they would get the job done to fit our vision. They even came to the rehearsal (small extra cost) to make sure all music cues were exactly how I wanted them which was great as many DJs had told me “no.” It really helped ease my nerves knowing things were well executed and ran through the day before. Throughout the planning process, Bill was very responsive to any questions I had via email or extra phone calls. I did have a change I added in last minute so our dog could be apart of reception announcements and they didn’t even flinch at the last minute change of plans. They nailed it. They played great songs, surprised us with a gift after our first dance, and even kept bringing my girls and I fans cause they had us dancing all night. We cannot thank both Bill and John enough for helping us execute our big day! -The O’Havers”
