We had an amazing experience with Will Nye the DJ Guy. They use an online system that is super easy to use and very clear and has all your information in one place that was super helpful.

We cannot recommend Said highly enough! He is incredibly professional and responsive to all our questions. It was clear from the start that he knew exactly what he was doing. Said took the time to ask all the right questions to truly understand the specific vibe and music we wanted for our wedding. He managed guest requests well (we didn't want everything to be played, and he did a fantastic job filtering through them so we only heard the music we actually liked). On the day of, his setup was fast, the sound quality was excellent, and his lighting made the dance floor fun. Our biggest priority was keeping people on the dance floor, and Said delivered. The floor was packed from the first song until the very end of the night! We are still getting comments from friends about how much fun they had and how impressed they were that the dancing never stopped. If you want a DJ who is organized, a great communicator, and knows how to keep a party going, hire Said! Photo credit Sam @ ampersandphotography.com

  • DJ
  • Starts at $545

Our great Wedding DJs here at Complete Weddings + Events Madison can entertain any generation and create the ideal experience for different types of events, from your elegant wedding, to a 40th birthday party, or a corporate holiday party. Our DJs not only create a custom musical experience, but they are also professionally trained emcees helping an event flow smoothly with little to no interruptions or issues. They handle all announcements necessary to the event so the bride and groom or event staff don't have to worry about a thing!

It was an amazing experience working with the three amazing people we were assigned for our wedding. We booked a photographer, videographer, and DJ through this company and I don’t think I could have asked for much more than what they did for us! Finding vendors for these three jobs was very important to me as a bride because I wanted to make sure it was going to be a stress free and memorable day. I wanted to make sure everything was captured and that friends and family would have the best time possible celebrating with us. To start with our photographer Sean, he is such an amazing individual and was such a light hearted and fun energy to have. He got along with everybody and was so patient with our youngest and oldest family members. The photos we received were amazing and captured so many great moments without feeling posed. Our videographer Jason captured such great moments for us and cracked so many jokes throughout the day. Our video is absolutely amazing and was pretty close to what I had imagined before receiving it. When your videographer willingly whips out a kart wheel to show off to a group of dancers, you know he’s passionate about his job. Lastly our DJ John was the perfect DJ for our party! He was so attentive and absolutely hilarious. An amazing MC and worked with me to create several surprises throughout the night. As a dancer and perfectionist, I could not have asked for someone to have read the room any better! I never had to ask for songs to be skipped and my guests felt so comfortable to approach him with requests. I don’t know if we could ever put into words how well they worked together. Everyone that we dealt with through this company made our experience so easy to manage.

Turia DJ Service 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Madison, WI

Turia DJ Service is based east of Madison in Jefferson County and covers weddings and events across Southern Wisconsin. I started this business because I love music. I enjoy listening to and attending concerts of a wide range of genres. Making playlists has been a hobby since the early days of iTunes in the mid-2000s. I care about what music is playing, I like to dance to good music and want others to dance because it’s fun!

Josiah of Turia DJ was exactly what we were hoping for, for both our wedding ceremony and reception!! Thanks to Josiah, our dance was one of our favorite parts of the whole day. We met online with him several times before the wedding, and once in person. He is clearly knowledgeable about the industry, helped answer timeline questions we had, and took time to visit the venue beforehand. On the day of the wedding, he brought all the equipment needed for handling the outdoor ceremony, including batteries to accommodate the lack of outdoor power at the venue. He even helped us record the ceremony audio as a last minute request. For the reception he brought lights and kept the party going and energized late into the night. He left a remote speaker outdoors during the party so people could go outside and still enjoy the music, which was a pleasant surprise. A great anecdote about Josiah: in the evening during the dance, the Madison Mallards had an (unexpected) Shrek rave drone show next door. As we were watching the show, he expertly pulled up “I’m a Believer” which really kicked the dance into high gear. Class act! We got very lucky to book him, we highly recommend his services!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

Stereotypical wedding DJs spoil the fun. They play the same songs (boring). There are gaps between songs (awkward). And they talk on the mic too much (obnoxious). We’re the alternative. We beat match & blend music (non-stop dancing) We use the mic appropriately (vibe isn’t ruined) We personalize the playlist with your input (you’ll love the music) If you say things like, “We’re having a non-traditional wedding!,” or “We need to blend our multicultural families,” or “I’ll die if my domineering future mother-in-law demands that the DJ to play her QVC album collection,” ... then we're for you!

I would like to start by saying. "WOW". I recently had the pleasure of hiring DJ Elliott Ness for my son's wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough about the remarkable job they did. From the beginning, DJ Ness demonstrated impressive detail orientation and professionalism that set the tone for an exceptional event. During our planning meetings, it was clear that we were in the hands of an experienced professional. The DJ Ness took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and specific needs for the wedding. His expertise shone through as he provided insightful suggestions and curated a playlist that perfectly matched the ambiance we wanted to create. Every detail, from the song selection to the timing of the announcements, was meticulously planned. On the day of the wedding, DJ Ness's performance exceeded all expectations. His engaging presence and ability to read the crowd kept the energy high throughout the ceremony and reception. Guests were consistently on their feet, dancing and enjoying themselves, which is a testament to his talent for keeping the party lively and entertaining. His seamless transitions between songs and genres ensured that there was never a dull moment on the dance floor. The wedding was truly spectacular, and much of its success can be attributed to the DJ's genius and expertise. He not only played great music but also created an unforgettable experience that we and our guests will cherish forever. If you're looking for a DJ and MC who are professional, experienced, and capable of delivering an unforgettable wedding celebration, I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Elliott Ness!!!!

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.

RhodeyStark was founded in 2012 with the recognization there is a need to elevate live events from just music and booze to an experience that envelops an audience into a memorable moment. Their mission was simple. Provide quality sound, lighting, and video with superior customer service. Work with some of the best , DJ’s, MC’s, singers, instrumentalists, and bands in their respective industries. Produce weddings and events that create memorable moments. RhodeyStark has become an event company that partners with some of the best planners and brands in the country to put on weddings and events that create memorable moments.

RhodeyStark Events was fantastic for our wedding! They are a *must* hire for any event to get people on the dance floor all night long. From the very beginning, they took the time to meet with us and learn exactly what we wanted for the music and entertainment. The communication was excellent - they were responsive, flexible, and made sure we felt heard throughout the planning process. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had dancing and how well mixed the songs were to keep the dance floor flowing. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding day so special, thank you Omaur!!

From the seating before the ceremony, to the last song of the night, I want to handle all your music and entertainment needs. Why hire multiple people for your music services when you can get it all in one place? It’s like playing telephone—more people means more communication, more of a time commitment, and unfortunately more money and mistakes. Things get lost in translation…. But not with me. Once hired, we have a meeting or two discussing what you want your wedding to look and sound like. After that, you can stop stressing about your music needs and just leave it up to me.

Our wedding day experience would not have been the same without Derek! He went above and beyond in making our day special and tailored to us. We gave him songs for the ceremony and he made them his own and added his own flare making them unique for our day. He also played live for our cocktail hour where I received several compliments from our guests. Finally he was our dj for the reception helping to announce our wedding party with enthusiasm and kept our guests packed on the dance floor all night. I would recommend Derek 100 times over! He was so easy and smooth to work with and an absolute joy to have. He even worked with my wedding party to record a song they wrote to surprise us with. I’ve been at other weddings and events that he’s done and the energy and professionalism he brings is always top notch. Derek puts his heart and soul into all he does and he's one of a kind! Book him! You won’t be disappointed!
