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!

We had not one, but TWO other DJs cancel on us. We were getting deflated, frustrated, and losing money on DJs that would take our deposits and run. We even tried a "popular" service to find, it was a horrible match. The other, took outlr deposit and never spoke to us again. So for the 3rd try, (sadly shoulda went with them first) we called back these guys. We did check them out at first, but we're convinced cheaper was better. Nope. We learnt a lesson, a hard lesson. DJ Sound and Luke took us in battered, beaten, feeling defeated, and turned it all around. The planning with then made us feel at ease, and comfortable, and safe. They got our ides onto the forms, and the DJ was outstanding. It's like he knew our families and had the perfect songs picked and played. I'm not sure how they do it....but every time I reied to get off the dance floor, I had to turn around and gat back on because another awesome song was starting to play. Because I was on the dance floor all night with my friends, I missed some family connections, but I don't care, I'll see them at the holidays......it was MY night! DJ Sound taught me a few things. Patients, that great isn't cheap, and cheap isn't great, and that actually, they they were able to show my and my fiance love when we were beat down, hopeless, and discouraged. No jusgement from them, not even any talk about the other guys, they just hit the ground running. This company and all their employees are a blessing and we couldn't be more thank full. Highly recommend, but most of all, thank you for everything, it was an epic day.....just like you guaranteed!

DJ Services By Paul Young 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $695
  • Serves Mankato, MN

I’ve done over 3000 weddings, and this experience pays off in many ways, from musical knowledge to skills required to mix the music in exciting ways. As I “read the room” I take requests, and time the playing of each track based on YOUR taste in music- I guarantee to follow your “must play” list, “do not play” list. Unlimited, personal planning time is included with me, personally, who will be your actual DJ (not a subcontractor).

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Services By Paul Young was an excellent choice for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Paul was prompt, informative and friendly, putting us at ease about the music and entertainment for our big day. On the wedding day, Paul's flexibility and great timing kept the party going all night. Even though we didn't have a big wedding, DJ Paul still managed to give us an amazing celebration that our guests are still talking about. We highly recommend DJ Services By Paul Young for any couple looking for a talented DJ who will work with you to make your wedding reception unforgettable. (Clouds in photo added for privacy)

And many commented that their feet were sore the next day...the sign of a great night of dancing! And do yourself a favor - get the cold sparklers!

Only Toons DJ Service L.L.C. 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Mankato, MN

Simple things that set us apart from the rest... I make any necessary announcements throughout the night but avoid the annoying DJ chatter that takes away from an amazing event. I play the music you want to hear. I let my clients have as much control over the music as they want. DJing since 2012 with ZERO cancellations. 300+ events of experience (weddings, dances, schools, etc.). Lights for the dance floor, with colorful patterns and shapes but without being overwhelming or annoying. Lyric editing capabilities, to keep the night fun.

We had an amazing experience working with Only Toons DJ Service, Musician for our wedding! Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they were responsive, friendly, and really made sure they understood our vision. On the big day, they brought so much energy and fun to the reception. The music selection was on point for keeping guests of all ages entertained on the dance floor. They also provided awesome games and souvenirs that had everyone laughing and making memories. For the quality of work and value, I'd describe them as great. They were reasonably priced compared to other DJs in our area and they exceeded expectations with both their professionalism and ability to pump up the party. I'd highly recommend Only Toons if you're looking for a DJ who will help create an unforgettable celebration!
