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. We felt like royalty celebrating with the Bluewater Kings Band behind us - choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for our big day!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

DJ Sound Productions & Entertainment, LLC was the perfect choice for our wedding entertainment. ITS LUKE YOU WANT FOR YOUR DJ....or he goes by DJCru I think. Words can not describe our dance. I dont dance...but I did.....ALL night! And we wernt looking for a DJ that could do that. They promised id get the wedding I hoped for and he delivered beat our expectations! His announcements were that of a pro announcer youd hear on the radio and spot on. It was so fun. He took care of us and coordinated with our photographers and they got along so well......and the catering company, he organized us and everything else. Their communication was quick, thorough, and available 24/7. The quality of their work and the value they provided was truly amazing - Luke, our DJ, played the perfect music all night and was awesome beyond belief. He even had my dad out there to the music and my family LOVED Luke. He got music they requested that was impossible for us to get. It's like he was always a part of our family! Talked to us like we were humans, and had grace, and amazing patients. GO WITH THIS COMPANY and even if you have to pay more GO WITH LUKE!!!!

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).

Lake String Quartet 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Ceremony only
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Mankato, MN

We provide beautiful string music for your elegant ceremony or reception. We love working with you to tailor the music to your tastes. In addition to the classical repertoire we offer a broad range of Jewish, Scandinavian, Irish and contemporary popular music.

The Lake string Quartet was so easy to work with they were so seamless coordinating with me, the officiant, and my coordinator. I told them everything that I wanted, and they gave me so much more. My one recommendation to anyone is have your handful of songs that you really want played by the string Quartet, but then trust the experts to also pick out songs that they would recommend. What I did was I provided them a list of songs that I really wanted to hear and then let the experts do what they do best and pick out whatever song they thought would match the vibes from the guests.

If you want a packed dance floor from beginning to end, a club like experience and the BEST DJ's in town - then choose GenNOW for all your Wedding Day needs. From the first interaction, we knew we were in good hands. Tim responds quickly and really takes care of his couples. When our original GenNOW DJ had a family emergency and could no longer DJ our wedding, Tim immediately found us a new GenNOW DJ - and this is when we were introduced to DJ Matt. I don't have enough words to tell you how incredible Matt is! He is the most energetic, most caring, most bubbly, down-to-earth DJ there ever was. He immediately took my husband and I under his wing and would do anything to make us happy. By the end of the night, he was more like family to us than a vendor. Nonetheless, our dance floor was more like a club then a wedding and every single guest, young or old, was dancing all night long. To this day, people still say how much fun they had! Book GenNOW, ask for Matt, and you won't regret it!!

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!

Offering MC/DJ packages, lighting, photobooths, and even videography we can build the ultimate experience for you and your wedding. Our DJs are trained to create an epic dancefloor no matter what and we guarantee your guests will be saying "That was the best wedding reception....ever!"

I got married on June 15, and Mason was our DJ. He was absolutely amazing and made our wedding so much fun! I highly, highly recommend him. From our first meeting to the big day, he made everything so easy. We had multiple meetings to go over every detail, even things I hadn’t thought about (and I’m definitely Type A). So many friends and family members came up to me during and after the wedding to say how great he was and to ask for his information for future events. I honestly don’t have a single negative thing to say about him. Mason even got on the dance floor to teach some dances and was constantly helping with other wedding-related tasks besides the music, like making a schedule, helping with our slide show, watching over our raffle stuff and keeping it safe, helping tear up tickets, and so much more. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else there for that day! He was fantastic on the mic, keeping the energy high and ensuring everyone had a great time. The dance floor stayed full the entire night which was definitely a fear of mine but EVERYONE danced ALL NIGHT! Mason truly did an amazing job. If you’re looking for a DJ, I promise you, Mason is your guy!

Kyara’s Keys offers elegant piano music for any part of your wedding. With repertoire spanning multiple genres including pop, classical, jazz, and others, she takes pride in performing music that is tailored to you and your relationship.

We could not be happier that we chose Kyara to cover the ceremony and cocktail hour music on our big day! She was INCREDIBLE! We got so many compliments and having a live piano felt so dreamy. Kyara is super great to communicate with and pulled off our vision effortlessly. We chose some not so common ceremony songs including Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish, You Are in Love by Taylor Swift, and Hey Now by Hillary Duff. She played each song perfectly. We also had a unique request for cocktail hour and she curated an amazing playlist to match our 2000s rom-com vision including songs like Vienna by Billy Joel, Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, and so many more. My biggest regret from our wedding day is not taking more time to soak in the wonderful music during cocktail hour. We highly recommend booking Kyara’s Keys for your wedding or special event!
